Spinon Confinement and Longitudinal Interchain modes in Yb2Pt2Pb
The f-electron metal Yb2Pt2Pb is best thought of as a one dimensional (1D) quantum spin chain system, despite the fact that the magnetic moments are large and anisotropic with... -
Tunable Weyl and Dirac states in the nonsymmorphic compound CeSbTe
Within our previous proposal "Possible non-symmorphic, magnetic Weyl Semimetal in CeSbTe" we investigated the antiferromagnetic structure of CeSbTe. This material has a very... -
Chiral Magnetism in the room temperature skyrmion-carrying material CoZn
Chiral skyrmions are one of the most active areas of research in magnetism. A skyrmion is a topological stable soliton in which outer spins lie parallel to the applied field and... -
Study of the magnetic structure of BaSrMg2Fe12O22: a candidate room temperatu...
Multiferroic materials, where there is a strong coupling between magnetic and electric order parameters, offer a route to novel voltage-controlled spintronics. Y-type... -
Probing the Effect of Applied Field on Magnetocaloric TbOHCO3
There is a growing need to reduce dependence on liquid He for cooling applications below 20 K. Magnetocalorics, which exhibit an entropically driven cooling effect in a cycled... -
Magnetic field switching of electric polarisation in Y-type Hexaferrites
The magnetoelectric Y-type hexaferrites demonstrate coupling between magnetism and electric polarisation in relatively small applied magnetic fields, and are hence candidate... -
Melting the long-range magnetic order in SrEr2O4 with an applied magnetic field
We have observed an interesting phenomenon of the destruction of long-range magnetic order in SrEr2O4 by a relatively modest applied magnetic field. For a field applied along... -
High-pressure effect on the magnetic ordering in frustrated antiferromagnet C...

Probing the Effect of Applied Field on Magnetocaloric Tb(HCO2)3
The 1D ferromagnetic coupling within the chains of Tb(HCO2)3 appears to play a key role in its greater magnetic cooling performance above 4 K, compared to Gd(HCO2)3. Furthermore... -
Magnetic order in Er2Si2O7
We propose to use neutron diffraction to establish the magnetic structure of D-type of Er2Si2O7 in zero field first with a view of extending the measurements to an applied field... -
Correlation of structural and magnetic properties in oxides containing 1-D ch...
Purely ferromagnetic (FM) oxides are uncommon but we recently reported FM behaviour in a mineral induced by quite small magnetic fields. This ability relates to the presence of... -
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... -
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 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... -
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...
