Low energy spin-excitations in the monoclinic form of CoV2O6 brannerite
CoV2O6 can be synthesized in orthorhombic columbite type, and monoclinic and triclinic brannerite polymorphs. Recent inelastic neutron study of triclinic CoV2O6 brannerite... -
Neutron Diffraction Study of a Spin-1/2 Pyrochlore Lu2Mo2O5N2
Ammonolysis of R2Mo2O7 pyrochlores gives R2Mo2O5N2 containing S = ½ Mo5+. They are excellent candidate materials for investigation of quantum spin liquid phenomena and we have... -
Spin dynamics in disordered La(Cr1/3Mn1/3Fe1/3)O3 perovskite.
Disorder of magnetic cations usually suppresses long-range spin order: the Curie or Néel temperature drops rapidly, and a spin glass state often results at high disorder levels.... -
Spin Order in NiV2O6
One-dimensional magnetic materials have been widely studied due to their often remarkable ground states and excitations. Recent study of the triclinic form of CoV2O6 brannerite... -
MuSR Study of Magnetically Frustrated Lu2Mo2(O,N)7 pyrochlores
The combination of magnetic frustration and low magnetic moment leads to non-classical magnetic behaviour such as spin liquid states. We have prepared polycrystalline samples of... -
Structural and Magnetic Characterizations of the New, High Pressure Synthesiz...
After an almost forty year lull in research on multiferroic materials, there has been a resurgence of interest in them. However, it is particularly challenging to synthesize a... -
Short range magnetic order in the compositionally modulated Bi2Cr4/3Ni2/3O6 p...
It is particularly challenging to synthesize a novel multiferroic material as it seems that the mechanisms that allow ferromagnets and ferroelectrics to work are mutually... -
muSR study of field-induced phases in a 1-dimensional Ising system
MV2O6 brannerites have a network structure in which chains of edge-sharing MO6 octahedra result in 1-dimensional magnetic properties. A recent study reported monoclinic CoV2O6...
