Probing the mechanism of thermoelectric enhancement in Kondo insulator YbB12 ...
We propose to study the evolution of the spectral features in the dynamical magnetic response in series Yb_{1-x}Tm_{x}B_{12} (x=0.15, 0.6, 0.8). Tm doping results in non-trivial... -
Water librations in proton conducting hydrated alkali thio-hydroxogermanates
We propose to perform a systematic study of the intermolecular librational mode of molecular water in the proton conducting hydrated alkali thio-hydroxogermanates... -
Phonon measurements of the incommensurate phase transition in Åkermanite
The proposal is to measure the inelastic scattering from a single crystal of Åkermanite on cooling towards and through the incommensurate phase transition at 358 K. There are... -
Nematic spin fluctuations in tetragonal La2-xSrxCuO4
Uniaxial stress has been used to study the Fe-based superconductors with spectacular results. Both the transport properties and the low-energy magnetic excitations have been... -
Magnetic excitation in triangular latticce antiferromagnet alpha-CaCr2O4
The triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the classic example of the frustrated magnet, here the ground state forms a non-collinear 120° structure. A number of different...
