The Quantum spin liquid (QSL) state continues to fascinate the condensed matter community. This is because the spins in a QSL are highly entangled and fluctuate strongly down to...

There is a growing need to reduce dependence on liquid He for cooling applications below 20 K. Magnetocalorics, which exhibit an entropically driven cooling effect in a cycled...

We propose to measure the one- and multi-magnon excitations in the first realization of a S=1/2 quantum spin ladder in the strong-leg regime. Our material, DIMPY, has very well...

We propose to use two days of beamtime on POLARIS to determine the structure and magnetic ordering that occurs in a series of cation-ordered perovskites. These cubic compounds...

This proposal aims to exploit the high resolution of HRPD and OSIRIS to probe the structures of the solid solution Ba2CoO2Cu2(Te1-xSex)2. The compound Ba2CoO2Cu2Te2 shows...

Osmates in the perovskite-like structure are very topical. For example, recent discoveries include Slater transitions, and "ferroelectric-like" structural transitions. These...

Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for...

Nature abhors disorder and degeneracy at low temperature. Designing materials that confront this requirement can therefore lead to new states in which the degeneracy is lifted....

Conductive polymers (CP) show desirable physicochemical properties, with CP-based nanocomposites being manufactured for various applications i.e. sensors The filler particles...

This proposal addresses the formation of a metamagnetic phase transition in PrPtAl. PrPtAl exhibits induced moment magnetism where singlet-mixing is stabilised by inter-site...

The multiferroic system TbFeO3 undergoes magnetic transitions at 8.5 and 3 K, and with further modification in applied fields leading to a complex H-T phase diagram. At a...

This proposal concerns the metal-organic framework (MOF), cobalt imidazolate. Imidazole (im) is a small, flat organic molecule that forms slightly bent metal-im-metal linkages,...

Producing meat analogue instead of real meat is one effective way to reduce carbon emissions and improve animal welfare. Calcium caseinate (CaCas) is a prominent candidate for...

The relationship between spin fluctuations and superconductivity is of paramount importance in understanding the iron-based superconductors. We have recently investigated the...

Many catalysts work by adsorbing molecules onto their surface to from a more concentrated phase, which increases the likelihood of reactants colliding, and reacting to form a...

In recent studies, we have found that imidazolium magnetic ionic liquid based on tetrahaloferrate anions display very interesting magnetic and dynamic phenomena (highlight ILL...

Most of our technology is based on the use of charge, however the electron also has another less well-understood (or exploited) property called spin. The application of this...

In condensed matter physics, the search for new exotic quantum ground states has become a central theme over the past few years. Among the 3D quantum spin liquid candidates, the...

The solid solution Mn(1-x)Fe(x)WO4 exhibits complex antiferromagnetic order with coexistence of commensurate and incommensurate magnetic structures. Furthermore, the MnWO4 end...

Gallium has a low melting point and forms a liquid just above room temperature. The melting curve has a negative slope and when pressure is applied room pressure phases will...
