The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in...

This proposal forms part of our project to investigate the implications of non-trivial real-space topology in multi-k magnetic structures. We are here focusing on the rare earth...

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...

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...

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

Mn2V2O7 exhibits reversible structural transition from the high temperature monoclinic phase (C2/m) to low temperature triclinic phase (P-1) near room temperature where Mn2+...

The material Cu(1,3-benzenedicarboxylate) (C8H4CuO4) features structurally perfect kagome lattice planes of spin-1/2 copper2+ ions, with the separated by organic linkers. High...
