Structural and Magnetic Behaviour of PrCrO3 at High Pressure
The application of hydrostatic pressure tunes the interatomic separations within a compound, causing changes in the electronic structure. This alters many other material... -
In Situ Measurement of the Spin Seebeck Effect
The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric generators. The... -
Cation ordering in silicate spinel Ni2SiO4
Silicate spinels are important minerals in the transition zone region of the Earth and in order to understand seismic signals from these depths (550-660 km) we need to know the... -
µSR studies of free radical reactions by non-thermal microwave effects
We plan to study the non-thermal microwave (MW) effects on H2O2 through its reaction with muonium under MW irradiation. The key objectives are 1) for the first time definitively... -
High-pressure studies of energetic co-crystals and salts
This proposal will explore the effects of elevated pressures and temperatures on the structures of an energetic co-crystal containing nitroguanidine (NQ)and an energetic salt... -
The PVT equation of state of D2O ice III / IX
The high-pressure form of solid water, ice III, is the equilibrium phase in contact with liquid water at pressures from about 2.0 - 3.5 kbar. Consequently, its properties are... -
Flux Lattice Phase diagram in YBCO up to 17T
Our sample of fully oxygenated and de-twinned YBCO has previously given the first measurements of the intrinsic vortex lattice in this material, up to fields of 11 T. We have... -
Understanding pressure-driven structural and magnetic properties in LaFeO3
This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure crystallographic and magnetic structure of LaFeO3. LaFeO3 is a characteristic example of...
