The mineral gaudefroyite contains parallel chains of linked MnO6 octahedra. The Mn magnetic moments order with parallel spins within a given chain at low temperature, but the...

Our previous study indicates the possible existence of a new modulated magnetic structure in pure Tb and its diluted Y alloys. Here we plan to take advantage of the capability...

Magnetic equiatomic alloys (MEAs) of the general formula MM'X (M, M' = transition metals, X = Si, Ge, Sn) undergo martensitic transition on cooling from high temperature....

This experiment will probe the evolution of magnetic ordering in compounds with square planar Cr2+ ions in CrO2 oxide layers, and the interaction of these moments with Mn2+ and...

Perovskite oxides exhibit a large array of interesting electronic properties. Owing to their difficult synthesis (requiring extremely high pressures) the MOsO3 Osmates offer a...

Multiferroic materials which exhibit both magnetic and electric ordering offer the potential application in data storage, spintronics, and microelectronics. To date the most...

The magnetoelectric Y-type hexaferrites demonstrate coupling between magnetism and electric polarisation in relatively small applied magnetic fields, and are hence candidate...

In recent years, there has been a large research interest in noncentrosymmetric systems in part due to the exotic physics these systems display. Examples of chiral magnets...

The new compound Bi2CoTiO6 is synthesized using high pressure - high temperature techniques. Its properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements, and...

The crystal unit cell of mayenite, 12CaO.7Al2O3, consists of a cubic lattice of [Ca24Al28O64]4+ with the remaining 2*O2- contained in cages, which are linked by channels within...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on a powder sample of a multiferroic hexaferrite PbFe12O19. A recent paper has reported room temperature multiferroic...

New layered perovskite compounds LaBaFeMnO5 and LaBaFeMnO6 were recently synthesized. They may be useful for future oxygen storage applications. Fe-Mössbauer spectroscopy has...

Sr2RuO4 is an oxide metal which becomes superconducting at 1.5 K. In conventional superconductors, the electron (Cooper) pairs responsible for superconductivity have zero...

MoTe2 is a “type-II” Weyl semimetal and very topical field of research for both theoreticians and experimentalists. Two weeks ago we measured this system using muSR technique...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on powder samples of possible spin-induced multiferroic materials, 114CdMn7O12 and SrMn7O12, at ambient pressure and low...

The aim of the present proposal is to use total scattering to investigate changes in the local structure of Ba3BiRu2O9. This compound undergoes an unusual magnetovolume...

Research to develop single phase materials that are polar and ferromagnetic at room temperature is driven by the hope of switching ferroelectric order with an applied electric...

Bismuth Ferrite (BiFeO3) is the archetypal multiferroic material and as such has been copiously studied using a wide variety of techniques. Despite this, new structural and...

New manganese-based double perovskites Mn2-xCaxFeReO6 have been synthesised at high pressure. Mn2FeReO6 has spin-active cations at all sites; S = 5/2 Mn2+, S = 5/2 Fe3+ and S =...

The aim of the present proposal is to relate the macroscopic magnetic properties with the nuclear and magnetic structure of a series of Ni48Mn36In16-xSnx Heusler alloys. These...
