Eu2AuGe3 was synthesized by metal flux method. Room temperature single crystal XRD data shows that this compound crystallizes within the orthorhombic Ca2AgSi3 type structure....

It has recently been discovered than the rutile phase of zinc fluoride shows negative thermal expansion along all three crystallographic axes. What is highly unusual about this...

The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in...

We wish to exploit the contrast afforded by neutrons to study the ordering of In and Sn cations in indium tin chalcogenides. Cation ordering has been inferred from spectroscopic...

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...

In the condensed matter community the last ten years have seen a revolution in our understanding of how topology influences the properties of solids. A famous example from the...

SrCuTe2O6 is a quantum magnet featuring spin-1/2 magnetic ions that are coupled intoantiferromagnetic chains with frustrated interchain coupling. An ideal...

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...

Magnetoelectric multiferroics have been recently the focus of a significant research effort. The experiment that we propose explores a new class of "magnetochiral" systems,...

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....

Controlled drug delivery must be supported by specialized multi-task devices for addressing a predetermined therapeutic dose in controlled physiological conditions. Combining...

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 propose to obtain 3 days of beam time on SXD equipped with its new top-loading CCR to analyze CaCrFe3As3 single crystals at different temperatures 10 K, 100 K and 300 K (the...

In this proposal we request 3 days of beam time on HRPD to study the structures (both atomic and magnetic) of a variety of oxychalcogenide phases: La2O2Se2Fe2O, Ce2O2Se2Mn and...

Our recent neutron scattering studies on SrMn1-xWXO3 exhibit rich structural and magnetic phases ranging from incommensurate charge (ICDW) and spin (ISDW) density wave...

This proposal is to observe single-spin diffusive motion on a two-dimensional (2D) percolating network having a fractal geometry. The random walker¿s travel times on a...

The organic-inorganic perovskites (CH3NH3Pb(Br,Cl,I)3) have been identified as efficient photovoltaic materials. Theoretical calculations have suggested that the low energy...

The study of porous metal-organic framework (MOF) materials has attracted considerable attention. We seek to develop new stable MOFs for practical gas separation and request 3...

Copper (I) hydride, CuH, is unique amongst the binary metal hydrides in that it can be synthesised, at room temperature, in aqueous solution. In recent years CuH generated in...
