The metal-organic framework (MOF) guanadinium copper formate is of interest in the quest towards rational design of multiferroic MOFs. It exhibits cooperative Jahn-Teller...

The aim of our experiment is to map out the excitation spectrum of the recently-discovered superconducting AxFe2Se2 system for energy transfers of up to 250 meV. This...

We propose to measure the powder-averaged spin excitation spectrum of LiFeAs, a new member of the ferropnictide family of superconductors. This compound is special because it is...

We propose to use inelastic neutron scattering to search for the existence of spin fluctuations in two iron phosphide superconductors, LaFePO and Sr2ScFePO3. The objective is to...

At low temperatures FeSi is a non-magnetic insulator, but becomes a metallic paramagnet for T > 300K. It has been proposed to be a Kondo insulator in which local electron...

In a previous experiment we measured the spin wave spectrum of the half-doped bilayer manganite Pr(Ca,Sr)2Mn2O7 in its spin, charge and orbital ordered phase. The data, which...

A recently discovered new class of geometrically frustrated magnets is the family of cobalt oxides RBaCo4O7 (R=rare earth or Y). The structure is built up CoO4 tetrahedra which...

We plan to continue inelastic neutron scattering measurements on the high Tc cuprate superconductor BSCCO with optimum doping. In the proposed experiment, we will have about 40...

A major problem in physics is the identification of the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity. Many theories purport to explain the high-Tc phenomenon. In most...

Lu2V2O7 is a rare example of an S=1/2 pyrochlore. The fact that it is a ferromagnet with Tc=70 K belies the fact that it has some truly remarkable properties. These include the...

The concept of an electronic nematic, in which the electronic wavefunctions have different symmetry to the crystal structure, has been proposed to explain several unusual...

Very recently, bulk superconductivity has been found at Tc = 43 K in the layered compound FeSe intercalated with Li ions and amide and ammonia molecular groups. We propose to...

It has been argued that the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural transition found in all the parent phases of the Fe-pnictide superconductors is driven by frustration, and...

We propose to use inelastic neutron scattering to search for the existence of spin fluctuations in two iron phosphide superconductors, (La,Ca)FePO and Sr2ScFePO3. The objective...

The colossal magnetoresistance effect in manganites arises from a competition between delocalisation, which favours a ferromagnetic metallic phase, and localisation of electons...

The recent exciting observations in the magnetic excitation spectra of cobalt oxides that are isostructural to the prototypical high-temperature superconducting cuprates have...

Iron is a canonical instance of an itinerant electron ferromagnet, and a classic correlated electron system. Our recent data from MAPS contradicts earlier triple-axis data that...

We have found unusual and promising Hall effect behaviour in the alloy Fe3Sn2 at 300K. Fe3Sn2 is predominantly ferromagnetic, however, our neutron diffraction data indicate that...

We plan to study the temperature dependence of magnetic excitations in the optimally doped high-Tc superconductor Bi$2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O${8+\delta}$ (BSCCO). We have previously...

The highly frustrated nature of the pyrochlore lattice leads to a rich diversity of fascinating properties when the lattice sites are decorated with classical spins. Arguably...
