Structural and magnetic studies of the alkali sesquioxides Rb4O6 and Cs4O6
The mixed-valence sesquioxides A4O6 (A = alkali metal) are particularly intriguing magneticmaterials comprising of non-magnetic (O2)2- and magnetic (O2)- anions. Recent... -
Development of a Novel Low - Intermediate Temperature Solid Proton Conductor
The compound, Si5O(PO4)6, is a component of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst, it has highly unusual coordination of the silicon (octahedral, as well as the more common... -

Room temperature ferromagnetic/ferroelectric ordering in BaTiO3 - BiFeO3 - Pb...
There are very few genuine claims of materials that are ferroelectric and ferromagnetic at room temperature. In This proposal we will study both textured and non texture BaTiO3... -
Non-planar exchange bias in a hard magnetic FePt/FePt3 epitaxial bilayer
We plan to perform polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) on an epitaxial FePt(10nm)/FePt3(60nm) bilayer grown on a MgO(110) substrate. One particularity of this exchange bias... -
Influence of minority-spin surface resonance on tunnelling anisotropic magnet...
We propose to study Fe based tunnelling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) structures. TAMR is a newly discovered effect potentially combining advantages of the anisotropic MR...
