Polar or non-centrosymmetric ferri(-o)magnets offer a plethora of potential technological devices; the inherent magnetoelectric effect can underpin both pyroelectric or...

We propose to characterize the two magnetic transitions in Nd0.75Gd0.25Rh3B2 and study the spin dynamics and field induced domain rotation via zero field (ZF) and longitudinal...

In recent years, the family of lead halide perovskite materials (e.g. MAPbI3) has attracted substantial interest due to their unique combination of properties and potential...

Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,...

The physics across the phase transitions in solids has been of topical interest in the condensed matter physics. For example, liquid and vapor coexist along the vapor pressure...

The response of the magnetic ordering of layered cobalt oxide chalcogenides to changes in electron count will be investigated in detail following a preliminary experiment at...

Au4V is an extremely unusual alloy. Neither Au nor V is generally found to carry a magnetic moment in the metallic state, yet the body-centred tetragonal (bct), structurally...

This study involves attempting to understand the Li atom diffusion within Li-intercalated hexagonal boron nitride. Muons present a significant advantage as they are sensitive to...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on powder samples of possible spin-induced multiferroic materials, 114CdMn7O12 and SrMn7O12, at ambient pressure and low...

Amongst layered materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are studied extensively due to their complex phase diagrams exhibiting competing phases. Intercalation...

Single crystal, bulk Si1-xGex alloys are available across the alloy composition range, and provide opportunity for study of alloy properties in transition between the two...

Th S = ½ AF spin ladder is one of the most important models in quantum magnetism. While its properties throughout the (H,T)-phase diagram may be considered to be well understood...

Research to develop single phase materials that are polar and ferromagnetic at room temperature is driven by the hope of switching ferroelectric order with an applied electric...

In the present proposal, we would like to investigate beta-Li2IrO3, a 5d based hyper-honeycomb system, where strong Kitaev-type anisotropy of magnetic couplings triggers a...

Single-Molecular Magnets (SMMs) provide access to the mesoscopic world. They possess slow magnetization relaxation due to an energy barrier induced by axial magnetic anisotropy,...

Polymeric solar cells are a promising alternative for producing clean and renewable energy due to the possibility of fabricating them onto large areas of lightweight, flexible...

We plan to study the non-thermal microwave (MW) effects on H2O2 through its reaction with muonium under MW irradiation. The key objectives are 1) for the first time definitively...

We can trace the history of electrochemical cells just over two hundred years back to Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta¿s inventions, and perhaps more than a millennium further...

Properties of graphene that make it an important material are its exceptionally high conductivity, massless fermions and a high velocity of electrons near the Dirac points....

The proposal is to measure the low-energy spin dynamics of the ferromagnetic superconductor UGe2 at the pressure which maximizes superconducting transition temperature and at...
