Magnetic phase diagram of single crystal multiferroic NaFeGe2O6
Multiferroics of spin origin, for which magnetic long-range order and electric polarization occur simultaneously, have attracted considerable interest. The strong coupling... -
Mapping the highly complex magnetic phase diagram of TmCu
This proposal forms part of our project to investigate the implications of non-trivial real-space topology in multi-k magnetic structures. We are here focusing on the rare earth... -
Devil's staircase in the Kondo lattice semimetal CeSbSe
We propose to determine the magnetic structure of a new material, CeSbSe, at zero field and in magnetic fields up to 3 T, using the unique capabilities of the WISH... -
Low Temperature Magnetic Properties of new Strontium(V) Ruthenate, SrRu2O6.
Layered strontium ruthenate materials are a prime example of how closely competing energy scales found in strongly correlated electron systems can give rise to a broad range of... -
Novel quantum spin liquid state in the S=3/2 dimer lattice in Ba3ZnRu2O9
We have discovered a novel type of quantum spin liquid in a hexagonal lattice of Ru5+ dimers in Ba3ZnRu2O9, where any traces of the Curie tail or glassy behavior have not been... -
Neutron scattering studies of novel multiferroic materials
This project lies on the study of multiferroic materials in which both electric dipole order and magnetic order coexist. These materials are of the potential for new technology... -
Optimising the Haupt effect: the route toward application
The implementation of quick temperature cycles over the temperature range 2-40K in g-picoline has lead to the first observation of a redistribution of scattered intensity in... -
Neutron Diffraction study of Highly Frustrated SrEr2O4
We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked... -

This proposal would like to map the diffraction patterns of Gd3Al5Gd12 (GAG) using the high flux diffraction instrument WISH. It is of great interest to solve the magnetic... -
Correlation between crystalline and magnetic structures, and polarization in ...
TbMnO3 attracts special attention due to its large magnetoelectric coupling, polarization flop and ferro-paramagnetic phase transition, both induced by magnetic field. Despite... -
Magnetic field diffraction study of Gd2Ti2O7
We propose a study of the magnetic structure of isotopically enriched Gd2Ti2O7. We have successfully grown and characterised large single crystals using low-absorption 160Gd. In... -

Tunable algebraic correlations and Kasteleyn transition in kagome ice
We propose to continue our search for the Kasteleyn transition in the kagome ice phase of the spin ice Ho2Ti2O7. The experiment requires the applied magnetic field to be... -
Magnetic ordering in CaFe3O5 and CaFe5O7
This proposal is to explore the evolution of magnetic ordering in two members of the homologous series CaFe2O4(FeO)n with n = 1, & 3, and to correlation the behaviour of the... -
Cascading magnetization plateaus in monoclinic CoV2O6
The aim of this proposal is to understand the origin of the cascade of magnetisation plateaus in monoclinic CoV2O6. While 1/3 plateaus have been reported in the literature,... -

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments under high-pressure and high-magnetic-filed on multiferroic CuFeO2 using WISH in combination with hybrid-anvil-cell (up to... -
Demystifying the Haupt effect: the need for neutron scattering
In 1972, Haupt observed a giant enhancement of proton polarisation in NMR experiments on crystalline g-picoline. Key to this discovery was the implementation of quick... -
