Neutron Total Scattering Investigation of Temperature Driven Transitions in L...
This proposal is concerned with determining the local structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well characterised temperature driven... -
Magnetoelastic coupling effect on multiferroic behaviors in different types o...
We propose to perform high resolution neutron diffraction on powder samples of the frustrated antiferromagnets Ag1-xCuxFe1-yGayO2 using HRPD. CuFe1-yGayO2 and AgFeO2 have... -
Neutron Diffraction Study of a Spin-1/2 Pyrochlore Lu2Mo2O5N2
Ammonolysis of R2Mo2O7 pyrochlores gives R2Mo2O5N2 containing S = ½ Mo5+. They are excellent candidate materials for investigation of quantum spin liquid phenomena and we have... -
Structural evolution in the solid solution Na2-x+yHxTi3O7 studied by neutron ...
Layered Na2Ti3O7 has shown promising electrochemical performance to be used as anode material in room temperature sodium ion batteries. We have synthesized several phases in the... -
Competing degenrate magnetic states in Ba1-xNaxFe2As2
Magnetic and superconducting ground states have been proposed to coexist in a relatively narrow compositional range in the so-called 122 pnictide superconductors. We recently... -
High resolution neutron diffraction study to investigate quadrupolar ordering...
Recently we have investigated magnetic and quadrupolar ordered states of YbRu2Ge2 using zero-field muon spin relaxation (µSR), neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron... -
Spin ordering in the iridium oxide pyrochlore A2Ir2O7
Here we propose to search for magnetic order in 3 variants of the A2Ir2O7 (A=Y, Nd, and Lu) system. A fundamentally new, moderately-coupled, electronic ground state has been... -
Study of structural phase transition in the spin-dimer YbAl3C3 using high res...
YbAl3C3 undergoes a structural phase transition at 80 K and a spin-dimer formation below 10K. To gain more information on the nature of the spin-dimer state and the phase... -
In-situ Variable Temperature Studies of Dy Doped BiFeO3
Multiferroics and in particular BiFeO3 have recieved alot of interest. The potential of multiferroic materials to be incorporated into many devices such as sensors and memory...
