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

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...

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

The family of guanadinium metal formates (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) are isostructural with the perovskites and are therefore of interest for potential applications: in particular,...

We request 4 days on HRPD to perform combined specific heat and neutron powder diffraction measurements of C60 and the molecular hydrogen storage materials, ammonia borane and...

Exotic electronic states are of great interest to fundamental science, such as the quantum spin-liquids (QSLs) which were theorised to behave like a sea of resonating spin...

Fast segmental dynamics of surfactants in rod-like assemblies and their correlation with microstructure is not very well understood although the structure and macroscopic...

Emerging technologies require increasingly unusual functional materials and so understanding the origins of complex magnetic and electronic behaviour, and how these can be...

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...

KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on single crystals, 3R-AgFeO2 and 2H-AgFeO2 on WISH. Recently, we have studied magnetic orderings and ferroelectricity of...

Back up experiment to fill gap in the schedule if beamtime is available

Our objective is to determine how changes in symmetry affect the magnetic ground state of spin-1 magnets. Low-dimensional S=1 systems are believed to support rich phase diagrams...

The crystal structure of PrFe2Al8 consists of a network of Al which forms quasi cage-like structure where the Pr and the Fe form chains of atoms along the c-axis. We propose...

This proposal forms a very specific part of our project to investigate complex magnetic structures in rare earth intermetallics. In extensive bulk measurements on high purity...

Recently we have investigated magnetic and quadrupolar ordered states of YbRu2Ge2 using zero-field muon spin relaxation (µSR), neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron...

Recent single crystal work on α-CoV2O6 has found a significant enhancement of the nuclear Bragg peaks on entering the low temperature antiferromagnetic states. This...

Ferroelectricity induced by magnetic ordering with certain type of magnetic structure has received much attention because it provides opportunity to manipulate magnetization by...

The spin Jahn-Teller effect stabilises 3D magnetic order in an otherwise frustrated system via magnetoelastic coupling, spontaneously at the magnetic phase transition. Examples...

The search for new ferroelectric materials, where the ferroelectricity results from magnetic frustration, has been a topic of great interest to the condensed matter physics...
