Magnetic and Structural Studies on Oxychalcogenides
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... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies on CaCrFe3As3 compound
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... -
Is the anisotropic resistivity in Sr3Ru2O7 due to imbalanced antiferromagneti...
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.... -
Spin reorientation transition in Ba2CrO2Cr2As2 - resubmission
This is an experiment to probe the magnetic ordering in Ba2CrO2Cr2As2 and compare the behaviour with the Sr analogue which shows a complex spin reorientation transition around... -
Phase stability and thermal conductivity in perovskite zirconates
Perovskite zirconates have been suggested as potential next generation thermal barrier materials. SrZrO3 is particularly promising as it has an extremely low thermal... -
Investigation of the interfacial spin texture in ferromagnetically doped topo...
We propose to make use of neutron wave guiding effects to enhance interfacial sensitivity and study the spin texture of individual interfaces between ferromagnetically doped... -
Intra-block magnetic excitations in KFe0.8Ag1.2Te2
KFe0.8Ag1.2Te2 is made of 2x2 squares of Fe atoms, upon lowering temperature the system spontaneously undergoes a transition that breaks the fourfold rotational symmetry. A... -
Investigation of crystal and magnetic structures of three polymorphs of Fe2WO...
Iron tungstate Fe2WO6 attracts increasing interest in two areas of applications due to its photoelectrochemical behaviour. Fe2WO6 can act either as a photocatalyst for... -
Magnetic structure of the doped room temperature honeycomb magnet (SrCa)Ru2O6
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... -
Proton dynamics in novel organic ferroelectric materials
The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in... -
Negative thermal expansion in the rutile phase of ZnF2
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 ferroelectric phase transition in Dion-Jacobson layered perovskites
Several distinct families of layered perovskites have been shown experimentally to display ferroelectricity. The most recent of these is the Dion-Jacobson (DJ) family, typified...
