The research examines how far social changes, such as increases in divorce, changes in men and women's employment, different expectations of close relationships and cultural...

The research aims to contribute to current research and theoretical understandings of how family lives and childhood experiences help to constitute adult lives and to illuminate...

Low dimensional magnetism provides a crucial playground for the discovery and exploitation of unconventional behaviour. Coordination frameworks have a tendency to adopt highly...

We recently synthesised a new compound, K2Ni2(SO4)3, that allows the existence of non-trivial topologicalphases such as skyrmions. Specific heat measurements show the existence...

We propose elastic neutron powder diffraction experiments on new perovskite antimonates (Ba,K)SbO3. Recently, we confirmed that heavily K doped antimonates become...

Coupling ferromagnatism and ferroelectriocity in a single phase material at or near room temperature has significant potential for the development of hybrid memory combining the...

Emerging technologies require increasingly unusual functional materials and so understanding the origins of complex magnetic and electronic behaviour, and how these can be...

Currently, we are reaching capacity limits in conventional Si-based memory devices, due to restrictions on further miniaturization. The concept of antiferromagnetic spin...

We propose to test new apparatus for the magnetic neutron diffraction under uniaxial pressure on WISH diffractometer. The main feature of our apparatus is that the sample is not...

New manganese-based double perovskites Mn2-xCaxFeReO6 have been synthesised at high pressure. Mn2FeReO6 has spin-active cations at all sites; S = 5/2 Mn2+, S = 5/2 Fe3+ and S =...

We propose to probe the magnetic ground state of Tm2Si2O7 with neutron diffraction. The compound belongs to a family of rare-earth disilicates, whose magnetic properties remain...

Geometrically frustrated lanthanide gallium garnets find practical applications as low temperature magnetocalorics, but the competing interactions in these materials may give...

Spin-trimer chain systems are of current interest due to unconventional properties arising from the strong quantum fluctuations and topology, such as the occurrence of the...

PbCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu2+ ions coupled by 3 interactions. The 1st neighbor interaction couples Cu2+ into isolated triangles, 2nd nearest...

Dion-Jacobson (DJ) [layered perovskites A'[An-1BnO3n+1], where A' is an alkali cation, A is an alkaline earth or rare earth cation and B is a transition metal) have a wide range...

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...

Chiral magnets with topologically protected states, such as magnetic Skyrmions in Cu2OSeO3, have been the center of attention of the scientific community in recent times due to...

The molecule-based chiral spin chain, [Cu(pyrimidine)(H2O)4]SiF6·H2O exhibits staggered g-tensors, a rich low-temperature excitation spectrum and a spin gap that opens on...

Our objective is to determine the magnetic ground state of two isostructural magnetic materials. Both contain nickel(II) ions in octahedral environments, NiX2N4 (where X = Br or...

In recent years, the investigation of metamagnetic properties of first order magnetic systems has become revolutionary. The rare-earth based compound Nd5Ge3 exhibits a magnetic...
