Layered strontium ruthenate materials are a prime example of how closely competing energy scales found in strongly correlated electron systems can give rise to a broad range of...

We have discovered a novel type of quantum spin liquid in a hexagonal lattice of Ru5+ dimers in Ba3ZnRu2O9, where any traces of the Curie tail or glassy behavior have not been...

This project lies on the study of multiferroic materials in which both electric dipole order and magnetic order coexist. These materials are of the potential for new technology...

With this proposal, we would like to investigate a material that could be used as a catalyst for hydrogenation reactions. A catalyst acts to increase the rate of a reaction by...

TbMnO3 attracts special attention due to its large magnetoelectric coupling, polarization flop and ferro-paramagnetic phase transition, both induced by magnetic field. Despite...

Materials which displays exotic electronic states are of great interest to fundamental science, such as the quantum spin-liquids which were theorised to behave like a sea of...

Hydrogen storage is one of the most important technological issues to be resolved in the move towards a future sustainable hydrogen-based economy. We would like to gain further...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments under high-pressure and high-magnetic-filed on multiferroic CuFeO2 using WISH in combination with hybrid-anvil-cell (up to...

This proposal aims to investigate multiferroic properties in a new class of materials, a blend between organic and inorganic chemistry, called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)....

The crystal structures and magnetic ordering of layered compounds that have been modified by low temperature chemical methods will be probed using neutrons. The systems...

CeFe2Al10 belongs to CeT2Al10 family (T: Ru, Os, Fe), which exhibits Kondo insulating behavior, with an unusual competition of strongly anisotropic crystal-field and exchange...

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 formation of water containing crystal forms, so-called hydrates, is a real problem for the pharmaceutical industry. Hydrates show thermodynamically the lowest solubility in...

Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the...

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are new and exotic states of matter characterised by fractionalised excitations and macroscopically degenerate ground states. The S=1/2 kagome...

Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) is observed in the oxypnictide NdMnAsO1-xFx (x = 0 - 0.085) at low temperature. The CMR in NdMnAsO1-xFx arises due to competition between a...

Multiferroics - where ferroelectric and magnetic orders co-exist - continue to be of technological and scientific importance, and of particular interest are the improper...

The 1,2- dichloroethane (DCE)/water interface is important because of its suitability as an electrochemical interface between two immiscible electrolyte soloutions. An issue of...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments under high-pressure on multiferroic TbMnO3 using WISH in combination with hybrid-anvil-type high-pressure device. Recently,...
