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

The layered NaMnO2 is challenging as it is an experimental realization of a two-dimensional spin-2, spatially anisotropic triangular lattice, where the interplay of temperature...

We propose the investigation of the magnetic structure in the room temperature magnet SrRu2O6 and its doped variants. Crystallizing in the honeycomb structure, these systems are...

Transition metal pyrovanadate M2V2O7 (M = Ni, Co, Mn) exist with a great variety of crystal structures, which are reflected in the richness of their physical properties....

Polaron-mediated colossal magneto-resistance (CMR) was predicted decades ago but never been experimentally established unambigously, despite the 'universal' existence of...

Iron tungstate Fe2WO6 attracts increasing interest in two areas of applications due to its photoelectrochemical behaviour. Fe2WO6 can act either as a photocatalyst for...

Understanding the structures of complex materials is key understanding their properties. Here we wish to determine the structure, both atomic and magnetic, of a complex...

We aim to study select samples of hole and electron doped (A,A')(Fe,B)2As2 (A=Ba, Sr, or Ca; A'=Na, K and B=Co, Ni, or Pt) iron pnictides. These materials exhibit robust...

This proposal is to explore the evolution of magnetic ordering in two members of the homologous series CaFe2O4(FeO)n with n = 1, & 3, and to correlation the behaviour of the...

Many novel electronic ground states form in close proximity to quantum critical points (QCPs), that is, the point where a continuous phase transition occurs at zero temperature....

We propose a study of the low temperature magnetic structure of vanadium dioxide (VO2) compounds using long-wavelength neutron diffraction measurements. This study directly...

Layered strontium ruthenate materials are a prime example of how closely competing energy scales found in strongly correlated electron systems can give rise to a broad range of...

The proposed 1111 system whose structures are largely underinvestigated exhibits properties with a strong potential for novel properties that complement our knowledge of the...

We have recently observed extraordinary polymorphism on cooling various sodalites under vacuum. Materials undergo a phase transition followed by a fully reversible...

The proposing team has a well established experience in the study on samples containingH_2 and D_2. Our recent neutron spectroscopic results on sII and sH H_2-filled clathrate...

We have discovered a novel type of quantum spin liquid in a hexagonal lattice of Ru5+ dimers in Ba3ZnRu2O9, where any traces of the Curie tail or glassy behavior have not been...

We propose to use WISH to characterise magnetic order of a new quantum (S=1/2) geometrically frustrated material based on the mineral averievite, Cu_5(VO_4)_2O_2CsCl. This...

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...

Novel functionality in condensed matter physics is one of fastest developing fields, aiming for possible future applications including quantum computing, electronic devices and...

A2BB’O6 double perovskites are an important family of materials, with spintronic properties found in some examples e.g. Sr2FeMoO6. Although A2+ sites are usually occupied by...
