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...

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

AB2O4 is one of the most investigated systems due to the interaction between electron, spin, orbital, and lattice, which lead to the anormal physical properties:a) the orbital...

A recent single-crystal study determined the crystal structure of MgSO4.3D2O, and discovered that a first-order phase transition occurs when the crystal is cooled below 245 K....

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...

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 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...

The Heisenberg antiferromagnet is a well-known model used to describe the magnetic properties of layered and metal-organic Mott insulators which have been explored both...

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 request 4 days on IRIS to investigate the diffusional and rotational dynamics of the alkalide forming, fully methylated aza-crown hexamethyl-hexacyclen (HMHC) in...

We request 7 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of a multifunctional catalyst (NbAlZSM-5) for the efficient cleavage of C-O bonds and of C-C...

New perovskite phases containing lead and halogens with a molecular cation are providing new options for materials in solar cells, giving unusually high efficiencies in...

The organic-inorganic perovsike (OIP) methylammonium lead iodide, MAPbI3, has been identified as a promising candidate for the development of efficient solid-state solar cells....

YbPd crystallizes in the cubic CsCl-type structure and reported to have magnetically ordered ground state with the mixed valence of the Yb ion. Further, it under goes through...

Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground...

We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked...

This experiment will investigate three related systems which contain copper deficient anti-fluorite-type copper sulfide layers. The overall aim is to correlate magnetic and...

The magnetism of double perovskites can be amazingly sensitive to subtle distortions of their structures. Previous studies have shown that Ca2NiOsO6 is a ferrimagnet, Sr2NiOsO6...

TbMnO3 attracts special attention due to its large magnetoelectric coupling, polarization flop and ferro-paramagnetic phase transition, both induced by magnetic field. Despite...
