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...

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

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...

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

The aim of the present proposal is to relate the macroscopic magnetic properties with the nuclear and magnetic structure of a series of Ni48Mn36In16-xSnx Heusler alloys. These...

CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 compounds crystallize in the tetragonal I4mm, BaNiSn3-type and display interesting bulk properties. Here we propose to investigate the magnetic structures of...

The melilite family are new xoide ion conductors with high mobility at low temperatures. Average structures suggest that the ability of the structure to accomodate high levels...

When isolated spin clusters are weakly coupled to each other, zero-dimensional quantum and three-dimensional collective magnetism concomitantly occur. This is envisioned in the...

The aim of the present proposal is to relate the macroscopic magnetic properties with the nuclear and magnetic structure of a series of Ni48Mn36In16-xSnx Heusler alloys. These...

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

We propose using WISH and HRPD to examine the structure of the Ba1-xNaxTi2Sb2O phase diagram as a function of temperature. The primary goals are the determination of the...

The Heusler alloys Ni-Mn-Ga are widely considered as a new generation of multifunctional smart materials due to the mutual interplay between structural and magnetic properties...

We propose to use WISH to examine whether a transition between different spiral antiferromagnetic structures in zero magnetic field is the key to tricriticality at finite fields...

Experiments (many at ISIS) using crystallographic methods, total scattering, inelastic neutron scattering and theory have provided a detailed picture of the origin of strong...

Materials exhibiting giant magnetocaloric effect (i.e. the large temperature change under a magnetic field variation) are the most promising type for magnetic refrigeration....

Our recent study of CaFe3O5 revealed a remarkable discovery of electronic phase separation, similar to examples widely reported in manganite perovskites. Electronic phase...

Alkali metals are soluble in organic media when a macrocyclic complexing agent is used in order to drive the dissolution process by formation of complexed metal cations and...

The aim of this research is to determine structural systematics of a series of materials with compositions and structures related to the mineral umbite (K2ZrSi3O9·H2O) and some...

Ni-Mn based Heusler alloys with composition related to the stoichiometry Ni2MnX, with X belonging to the IIIA-VA chemical species, are widely considered as a class of...
