Multiferroics of spin origin, for which magnetic long-range order and electric polarization occur simultaneously, have attracted considerable interest. The strong coupling...

This project lies on the study of multiferroic materials in which both electric dipole order and magnetic order coexist. These materials are of the potential for new technology...

CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 compounds crystallize in the tetragonal I4mm, BaNiSn3-type and display interesting bulk properties. Here we propose to investigate the magnetic structures of...

Purely ferromagnetic (FM) oxides are uncommon but we recently reported FM behaviour in a mineral induced by quite small magnetic fields. This ability relates to the presence of...

Local magnetic interactions in lanthanide compounds have recently been shown to tune their entropically driven magnetocaloric effect (MCE), useful for magnetic coolants. In this...

We propose to determine the magnetic structure of a new material, CeSbSe, at zero field and in magnetic fields up to 3 T, using the unique capabilities of the WISH...

We propose to use neutron diffraction to establish the magnetic structure of D-type of Er2Si2O7 in zero field first with a view of extending the measurements to an applied field...

A new kind of topologically protected electronic state has been predicted in crystals whose surfaces form atomic patterns with certain non-symmorphic symmetries. Eu5In2Sb6 is...

We propose to use neutron diffraction to establish the magnetic structure of D-type of Er2Si2O7 in zero field first with a view of extending the measurements to an applied field...

Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of magnetic matter in which conventional magnetic ordering is suppressed. Magnetic analogues of ice are good candidates to observe this...

The exotic physics of low-dimensional quantum magnets has recently been highlighted by the award of a Nobel Prize to Duncan Haldane. We have identified the molecular framework...

Lanthanide metaborates Ln(BO2)3 [Ln = La - Tb] form a monoclinic structure with 1d chains of magnetic Ln3+. Their magnetic properties have not been investigated before and they...

The 1D ferromagnetic coupling within the chains of Tb(HCO2)3 appears to play a key role in its greater magnetic cooling performance above 4 K, compared to Gd(HCO2)3. Furthermore...

We have reported magnetic structure of Sr3NiIrO6, which gives two possible solutions. Our theory shows that reported magnetic structure is not ground state magnetic structure....

Using high-temperature high-pressure synthetic methods we have recently prepared the new quadruple perovskite CaFe3Ti4O12. Curie-Weiss magnetic susceptibility and Mossbauer data...

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...

There is a growing need to reduce dependence on liquid He for cooling applications below 20 K. Magnetocalorics, which exhibit an entropically driven cooling effect in a cycled...

We intend to perform accurate measurements of the magnetic field profile in the Meissner state of an ¿extreme¿ low-k superconductor (In, k = 0.06, k is the Ginzburg-Landau...

Exchange bias (EB) effect, characterized by a shift of the hysteresis loop along the magnetic field axis, has attracted considerable attention because of its significance in...

A systematic study of physical properties on Ce(Cu1-xCox)2Ge2 reveals that the AFM ground state of CeCu2Ge2 can be continuously suppressed by Co doping and NFL type of behavior...
