Lead based oxides are wildly used in material science in order to obtain non-centrosymmetric structures that eventually lead to polar or piezoelectric distortion, which coupled...

Bi0.7La0.3FeO3 has received extensive attention in the past years, since this compound exhibits simultaneously ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism at room temperature. Despite...

Our objective is to determine how changes in symmetry affect the magnetic ground state of spin-1 magnets. Low-dimensional S=1 systems are believed to support rich phase diagrams...

This proposal aims to determine the easy axis and Neel temperature of the new epitaxial antiferromagnetic (AFM) thin film CuMnAs. The samples have been fully structurally...

We had been given 1 day of beam time on WISH, RB1710144, to investigate the magnetic structure of T2V2O7 (T=Mn, Ni, Co) We performed power neutron diffraction measurements on...

Materials exhibiting giant magnetocaloric effect (i.e. the large temperature change under a magnetic field variation) are the most promising type for magnetic refrigeration....

Our recent study of CaFe3O5 revealed a remarkable discovery of electronic phase separation, similar to examples widely reported in manganite perovskites. Electronic phase...

A recent exciting development in magnetic materials was the discovery of a new iron oxide, Fe4O5, using high temperature and high pressure. A very recent structural study has...

Ferroelectricity in type-II multiferroics is induced by breaking of inversion symmetry by certain type of spin structure below the magnetic ordering temperature. Therefore, a...

We propose elastic neutron powder diffraction experiments on perovskite antimonates (Ba,K)SbO3. Main-group oxide perovskites have attracted intense research interest due to...

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the WISH instrument team has worked together to enable simultaneous real-time high resolution (powder and single crystal) neutron...

In oder to understand our universe, we built large research facilities such as the LHC in Switzerland, which can be used to find new particles. In the solid state, such...

A new kind of topologically protected electronic state has been predicted in crystals whose surfaces form atomic patterns with certain non-symmorphic symmetries. Eu5In2Sb6 is...

Multiferroics are materials which exhibit both electric and magnetic ordering simultaneously. Harnessing this is a single material above room temperature could potentially...

Multiferroics - where ferroelectric and magnetic orders co-exist - continue to be of technological and scientific importance, and of particular interest are the improper...

We propose to use neutron diffraction to establish the magnetic structure of D-type of Er2Si2O7 in zero field first with a view of extending the measurements to an applied field...

Recent single crystal work on α-CoV2O6 has found a significant enhancement of the nuclear Bragg peaks on entering the low temperature antiferromagnetic states. This...

Novel functionality in condensed matter physics is continuously attracting huge attention owing to the possible novel future applications including quantum computing, electronic...

Ferroelectricity induced by magnetic ordering with certain type of magnetic structure has received much attention because it provides opportunity to manipulate magnetization by...

The 1D ferromagnetic coupling within the chains of Tb(HCO2)3 appears to play a key role in its greater magnetic cooling performance above 4 K, compared to Gd(HCO2)3. Furthermore...
