We recently synthesised a new compound, K2Ni2(SO4)3, that allows the existence of non-trivial topologicalphases such as skyrmions. Specific heat measurements show the existence...

Frustrated magnetic materials are interesting because they show unusual behaviour arising from a near-degeneracy of ground states. The magnetic order of MgCr2O4 - apparently...

New manganese-based double perovskites Mn2-xCaxFeReO6 have been synthesised at high pressure. Mn2FeReO6 has spin-active cations at all sites; S = 5/2 Mn2+, S = 5/2 Fe3+ and S =...

Recently we did muon spin relaxation (µSR) and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements on the newly discovered tertragonal Ce-based ferromagnet CeRu2M2B (M = Al and Ga)...

The magnetoelectric Y-type hexaferrites demonstrate coupling between magnetism and electric polarisation in relatively small applied magnetic fields, and are hence candidate...

We observed reentrant superconductivity (SC) in Ir doped EuFe2As2 near 22 K in both resistivity and susceptibility. For the optimally doped sample, we witnessed two distinct...

Multiferroic CaMn7O12 possesses giant magnetically induced ferroelectricity at relatively high temperatures - key properties for technological application. X-ray and neutron...

YbAl3C3 exhibits a spin gap formation due to spin dimer ground state below 10 K. In zero-field the ground state is paramagnetic and no sign of long range magnetic ordering down...

The layered ternary oxide system has been intensively studied in the past as it exhibits various remarkable properties, such as its electrochemical behavior as positive...

We have recently discovered a new family of geometric frustrated magnets starting from the parent system, RbFe2F6, with crystallizes in the defect or β-pyrochlore structure...

Ba2CuTeO6 is a newly discovered S=1/2 spin ladder system containing Cu2+ ladders. Our experiments indicate that this material is in very close proximity to the quantum critical...

Materials with antiferromagnetic interactions between spins on a triangle lattice inherently exhibit large frustration between similar energy ground states giving rise to novel...

This study is designed to identify relationships between structure and magnetic properties characteristic of coordination polymers (CPs). By determining the ground state 3D...

The electronic dispersion of "Dirac" materials such as graphene and topological insulators is linear, resulting in a variety of peculiar electronic properties. In graphene and...

In recent years there has been a large interest in geometrically frustrated magnetic systems, especially those with spins interacting on two-dimensional triangular lattices...

Yttrium iron garnet Fe3Y5O12 (YIG) is the material of choice for spin Hall related effects, magnonics, inter alia and has been used in microwave applications for many years....

For the RMn3O6 manganites, we have shown that tuning A-B exchange, by choice of A-site cation or by doping magnetic impurities, gives rise to dramatically different magnetic...

This study is designed to identify relationships between structure and magnetic properties characteristic of coordination polymers (CPs), specifically in the model system...

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...

The layered compound Na2Co2TeO6 is a model honeycomb compound having a zigzag antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state. Na2Co2TeO6 poses a rich magnetic phase diagram in the H-T...
