The intermetallic Mo3Sb7 compound exhibits superconductivity at Tc=2 K and exhibits interesting physical properties in the magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity and...

The spin Jahn-Teller effect stabilises 3D magnetic order in an otherwise frustrated system via magnetoelastic coupling, spontaneously at the magnetic phase transition. Examples...

Test of the NIMS low temperature pressure cell on WISH.

Our neutron study on YbAl3C3 reveals the presence of two well defined magnetic excitations at 1.5 and 3 meV at 4 K due to spin-dimer formation. Interestingly the specific heat...

The commercially important polymer Nylon 6 is manufactured by ring-opening polymerization of eta-caprolactam. Industrially, eta-caprolactam is conventionally made by the...

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...

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...

Despite the importance of the LiFeO2 phases as cathode materials in lithium ion batteries, little is known about their crystal structures. In the frame of our research project...

Lanthanide metaborates Ln(BO2)3 [Ln = La - Tb] form a monoclinic structure with 1d chains of magnetic Ln3+. Their magnetic properties have not been investigated before and they...

Novel functionality in condensed matter physics is continuously attracting huge attention owing to the possible novel future applications including quantum computing, electronic...

Pb2FeMO6 phases are of interest as potential multiferroics. We have prepared a new non-centrosymmetric pyrochlore-derived structure containing anion vacancy ordering...

Heavy fermion systems situated close to a quantum critical point present very rich physics due to the dominant Kondo interactions. Our investigations on the Kondo lattice heavy...

High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In...

Preliminary data on the spin excitation spectrum of the honeycomb lattice compound Na2Co2TeO6 are consistent with the existence of Kitaev interactions, as was recently proposed...

In this proposal, we would like to suggest inelastic neutron scattering measurement on a single-crystal sample of a frustrated antiferromagnet CuFeO2 under applied magnetic...

Recent single crystal work on α-CoV2O6 has found a significant enhancement of the nuclear Bragg peaks on entering the low temperature antiferromagnetic states. This...

Geometric frustration is widely accepted as a paradigm to bring out a novel paramagnetic state. Quasielastic paramagnetic scattering has been studied by neutron scattering so...

Lithium-ion batteries are of great interest for automotive applications but are expensive. Sodium is much more abundant and hence cheaper so for e.g. storing energy from...

We have recently investigated a hybridization gap in Kondo systems using HET and several papers along with a review have been published. Our study shows a universal scaling...

For non-Fermi liquid compounds, the dynamical susceptibility, as determined from inelastic neutron scattering, is particularly interesting as it exhibits universal energy...
