The AA'$3$Mn$_4$O${12}$ family of manganites with quadruple perovskite structure has recently attracted a lot of interest as a disorder-free model system for many of the...

Cerium and ytterbium are two members of the lanthanide (rare earth) series of elements that haverevealed in their intermetallic compounds new physics and many interesting...

The crystal structure of PrFe2Al8 consists of a network of Al which forms quasi cage-like structure where the Pr and the Fe form chains of atoms along the c-axis. We propose...

For the RMn3O6 manganites, we have shown that tuning A-B exchange, by choice of A-site cation or by doping magnetic impurities, gives rise to dramatically different magnetic...

Ga2-xFexO3 (GFO) is a ferrimagnetic magnetoelectric material presenting a Curie temperature above room temperature for x>1.3. It is therefore an interesting candidate for the...

Our first completed photo-musr experiment on 6,13-bis(tri-iso propylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-Pn) has recently been accepted for publication. We observed a significant...

In recent years there has been a large interest in geometrically frustrated magnetic systems, especially those with spins interacting on two-dimensional triangular lattices...

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...

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...

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

The control of physical properties through cation ordering in perovskites often gives rise to unexpected and desirable functionality. Of particular interest in the preparation...

Quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a novel state of matter where the spins are highly entangled with one another but fluctuate strongly down to zero temperature. It may be associated...

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

Ni rich layered oxides are promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries since they fulfil the energy density requirements of the automobile industry but they tend to degrade...

UN is a prominent “advanced nuclear fuel”, due to its high uranium density and good thermal conductivity. However, its dissolution in water is worse than that of UO2 and is...

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...

We plan to investigate the low-temperature structure and magnetostructural coupling in PdCrO2, which is a quasi-2D material with strongly anisotropic physical properties. It is...

Manganese based oxides are of great interest for both spintronic and multiferroic applications.Pb2MnO4 crystallizes in the acentric but non-polar space group P-421c which allows...
