Determining the magnetic structures of NaxCa1-xMn7O12 (x=0.25 and x=0.75): Ca...
Several members of the AA'3Mn4O12 quadruple perovskite family have now been realised, and are known to support intricate charge, orbital, and magnetic ordering phenomena. In... -
Structure and magnetic order in chemically modified schafarzikites
Schafarzikite minerals are structurally interesting in having 1-D chains of edge-linked transition metal octahedra. This experiment aims to determine the cause of the... -
Subtle magnetic phase transitions in multiferroic BiFeO3
This experiment seeks to probe the magnetic structure of multiferroic BiFeO3 and its evolution on lowering temperature, with the specific aim of identifying magneto-structural... -
Magnetic Ordering in a Kagome-like Cobalt Sulphate
We have recently prepared a new cobalt sulphate, Co3(SO4)3(OH)2[enH2], under solvothermal conditions. The structure of this material consists of edge-sharing CoO6 octahedra that... -
Dynamical Transitions in the Ogg Glasses
We request 4 days on IRIS to study the temperature dependance of the structural dynamics in amorphous sodium-ammonia (Na-NH3). This will be the first investigation of the... -
Magnetic structure of the 1D spin chain system: Sr3NiRhO6
The spin-chain systems with general formula A¿3ABO6, crystallizing in the K4CdCl6 (space group R -3 c) type structure has started attracting a lot attention in recent years due... -
In-situ study of hydrogen absorption and desorption in metal-hydride hydrogen...
Hydrogen storage is one of the most important technological issues to be resolved in the move towards a future sustainable hydrogen-based economy. We would like to gain further...
