Impact of in-situ strain-tuning on the magnetic structure of Ca3Ru2O7
We propose to perform high-resolution neutron diffraction on strained Ca3Ru2O7, a material in which electron correlations, spin-orbit coupling and crystal fields combine to... -
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... -
Detecting an entanglement transition in a quantum magnet
Justification: We'd like to apply for three days Director’s Discretionary time on WISH to continue the experiment on measures of quantum entanglement in a model 1D magnet. This... -
A neutron diffraction study of V1/3NbS2 : determination of the magnetic groun...
In recent years, there has been a large research interest in noncentrosymmetric systems in part due to the exotic physics these systems display. Examples of chiral magnets... -
Field effect of the magnetic ground state in a triangular-lattice magnet
Rare-earth frustrated magnets have attracted great interest because they can form rather complex ground states such as hidden order phases, the order parameters of which cannot... -

Third Generation Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) require higher strength and formability alongside a lower alloying element content for reduced energy consumption and CO2... -
Magnetic Phase Diagram of Geometrically Frustrated BaDy2O4
In BaDy2O4, the magnetic Dy3+ ions are arranged in a network of triangles and hexagons, and coupled with antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, which gives rise to geometric... -

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... -
Quantum critical dynamics in the purely dipolar antiferromagnet LiErF4
LiErF4 is an example of an XY dipolar coupled antiferromagnet with planar anisotropy. As such it exhibits a quantum phase transition (QPT) in a small field of 4kOe, which is of... -
