Structure-property relation in integer-spin quantum magnets
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... -
Probing the magnetic structure of transition metal pyrovanadates Co2V2O7
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... -
Magnetic structure determination of PrMn7O12 polymorphs
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... -
Magnetic structure determinations in the complex boride Mn3Co20B6
The experiment will study the magnetic structure in the complex boride Mn3Co20B6. Substitutions in this compound makes it possible to tune the magnetic properties, thus, making... -
Neutron diffraction study of magnetic structure of PrFe2Al8
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... -
Tuning B-B exchange in the R2MnMn(Mn4-xTix)O12 quadruple perovskite manganites
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... -
