Resolving the crystal field scheme for Dy3+ in DyNiAl4
The intermetallic series RNiAl4 (R = rare earth) exhibit interesting low temperature magnetic behaviour including a variety of (in)commensurate magnetic phases and metamagnetic... -
The anisotropy of the spin fluctuations in the electron nematic phase of Sr3R...
New electronic phases often emerge in the proximity of a quantum critical point (QCP) - that is the point where the transition temperature of a collective phase transition is... -
Probing the mechanism of thermoelectric enhancement in Kondo insulator YbB12 ...
We propose to study the evolution of the spectral features in the dynamical magnetic response in series Yb_{1-x}Tm_{x}B_{12} (x=0.15, 0.6, 0.8). Tm doping results in non-trivial... -
Probing the origin of low thermal conductivity in thermoelectric materials
Thermoelectric materials are increasingly attracting attention due to their potential for use in devices for waste heat energy recovery. Bismuth copper oxychalcogenides have... -
Magnetic excitation in Sr2IrO4 : Establishing links to Cuprate superconductors
The strontium iridate Sr2IrO4 has recently received a special attention because of its closeresemblance to undoped high-Tc cuprate in terms of structural, electronic, and... -
Spin wave investigation in brownmillerite oxygen deficient perovskite Ca2Fe2O5
The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is thought to be responsible for the stabilization of weak ferromagnetism or magnetic spiral states in a number of diverse systems. An... -
Relaxation dynamics of a Dy-based single molecule magnet
Single-molecule magnets (SMM) exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation have attracted increasing interest, both from a fundamental point of view, and for the potential practical... -
CEF scheme investigation of selected CenTmIn3n+2m (T=Rh, Pt) compounds
Due to the tunable interplay between magnetism and superconductivity the CenTmIn3n+2m (n, m = 1, 2; T = Co, Ir, Rh, Pd, Pt) family of heavy fermion compounds has been attractive... -

We propose to use MERLIN to measure INS from commercial zeolite catalyst samples extracted from a reactor in which they have been exposed to dimethylether for different lengths... -
Phonon measurements of the incommensurate phase transition in Åkermanite
The proposal is to measure the inelastic scattering from a single crystal of Åkermanite on cooling towards and through the incommensurate phase transition at 358 K. There are... -
Resonant Spin Excitation in Single Crystal of Ba0.3K0.7Fe2As2
We recently observed a resonant spin excitation in Ba1-xKxFe2As2 (x=0.4), one of the newly discovered iron arsenide superconductors with Tc=38K, on MERLIN. This demonstrates... -

As part of a UK Catalysis Hub initiative in Catalyst Design involving a team of academic and industrial researchers, the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over zeolite catalysts is... -
The study of spin excitations in superconducting LiFeAs
The spin excitations in superconducting LiFeAs have been found evolved from incommensurate peaks to commensurate peak at low energy. But the spin resonance is still not clear in... -
