Thermoelectric materials are attracting increasing attention due to their potential for waste heat energy recovery. The challenge in finding better thermoelectric materials lies... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study in the multiferroic spinel Fe1+xCr2-xO4 (x...
ACr2O4 syetem allows one to analyze the interplay of lattice, charge, orbital, and spin degrees of freedom. However, very few materials have been studied from the viewpoint of... -
Effects of Local Displacements on Phase Transitions in Sr- and Ca-substituted...
Ferroelectric BaTiO3 (BT) constitutes a base system for many practical applications ranging from classical capacitors to tunable dielectrics. A dielectric response in BT is... -
Spin excitation anisotropy in FeSe
Iron selenide (FeSe), a member of "11" family in iron-based superconductors, does not have static AF order; thus, the structural transition and associated nematic order have... -
Gaps in the spin wave dispersion relation in elemental iron
Iron is a canonical instance of an itinerant electron ferromagnet, and a classic correlated electron system. Our recent data from MAPS contradicts earlier triple-axis data that... -
Spectral signatures of the magnetically hidden octupolar order in Sr2VO4
We propose to study low-energy magnetic excitations associated with the low-temperature ordered phase in polycrystalline Sr2VO4. This layered perovskite compound exhibits an... -
The magnetic structures of RMn7O12 (R = Nd, Sm, Dy, Y)
Materials with the perovskite crystal structure are ubiquitous in condensed matter physics. Despite being known for several years, the quadruple perovskites, which afford... -
The Dynamics of Breathing Metal-Organic Frameworks from Total Scattering
Metal-organic framework materials are a topical family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these... -
Low dimensional magnetism from metal-halide hydrogen bond motifs
We will examine the impact of metal-halide hydrogen bond motifs and their ability to provide low-dimensional superexchange pathways. Specifically, we wish to investigate two new... -
Fractionalized excitations in the zigzag pseudospin-1/2 quantum chain compoun...
One-dimensional (1D) S = 1/2 spin chains are a subject of long-standing interest, because conventional long-range ordering can be prevented and novel Luttinger-liquid phase may... -
Spin waves in the single layer half doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4
We propose to measure the spin wave dispersion and intensities throughout the Brillouin zone of the single layer half-doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4, whose ground state has the... -

Neutron diffraction study of Ga and Al doped MnNiGe alloys
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.... -
Local Structure in (K,Na)NbO3 Piezoelectric Ceramics
KxNa1-xNbO3 (KNN)-based solid solutions are promising lead-free piezoelectrics for ceramic actuators. In this system, the long-range order of octahedral rotations and... -
Paramagnetic excitations in the topological Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2
In a magnetic Weyl semimetal (WSM) with broken time-reversal symmetry, large intrinsic anomalous Hall effect is expected if the Weyl nodes are close to Fermi energy, which... -
High resolution INS spectra of hydrocarbonaceous overlayers formed on novel m...
For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of new high specification methane reforming catalysts. The enhanced performance of these catalysts... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies on YbCu4Ga8
We discovered a new compound YbCu4Ga8 and the available laboratory single crystal data shows that it crystallizes in the tetragonal system. The asymmetric unit contains one Yb... -
