Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BB’O6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B’ are...

Magnetic frustration occurs when nearest-neighbor competing interactions cannot be simultaneously satisfied. Pyrochlores, whose crystalline lattices form corner-sharing...

Ammonium sulfate exhibits a first-order phase transition upon cooling through ~ 224 K at room pressure, from a paraelectric to a ferroelectric crystal. There have been no...

Muon diamagnetic fraction in liquid water is known to decrease with decreasing temperature probably because its formation mechanism results from the structural alternation and...

The family of guanidinium metal formates has the perovskite structure and, like many perovskites, is of interest for these materials¿ magnetic and electric properties, in...

FeF2 is a conversion reaction material that undergoes a reaction with lithium: FeF2+2Li++2e-<->2LiF+Fe, which results in a high theoretical capacity, 571 mA/g....

The main target of the proposal is to determine the magnetic phase diagram of multi-ferroic compound TbMnO3 in extremely high magnetic fields around 30 T by using a pulsed...

It is a great interest of research to explore the superconductivity in 111-family superconductor with strong spin orbit-interaction. In this proposal we wish to investigate role...

RBaCo4O7 (R = rare earth ion or Y) compositions belong to class of strongly frustrated antiferromagnets. Their crystal structure is build up of alternating Kagome and triangular...

Ever since the first published consideration of the ground state of a triangular lattice of Ising spins by PW Andersen in the 50's, the pursuit of materials with geometrically...

The high pressure perovskite PbCrO3 has been known since the 1960’s but the electronic properties were controversial. The average structure is a cubic Pm-3m perovskite but a...

Magnetic superexchange is strongly dependant on the degree of orbital overlap and hence the interatomic distances and angles within a structure. One way of tuning magnetic...

We will exploit the unique capability of NIMROD to bring new understanding to the way in which long chain polymers, specifically stereoregulqr polypropylenes, crystallise. There...

Two new A-site ordered perovskite structure oxides, CaCu3Fe4O12 and LaCu3Fe4O12, were recently synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions in Kyoto. These...

Geometrically frustrated S= 1/2 magnets are of great interest as they do not show classical long range magnetic order at low temperatures and can adopt exotic quantum spin...

We plan to continue our previous investigation on the influence of thin Mg insert layers on magnetism at buried interfaces in structures that model the lower electrode/barrier...

Ice VI is likely to be a major mantle mineral in the interiors of large icy moons in our solar system, and in large icy extrasolar planets. It is also a common accessory phase...

The performance of current commercial Li-ion batteries with graphite anodes is limited by the relatively small amount of lithium that can reversibly intercalate between the...

The room temperature crystal structure of TbInO3 realises a geometrically frustrated two-dimensional triangular lattice of Tb3+ J = 6 cations. We have prepared ~ 6 g of high...

BiCoO3 is a perovskite type material recently prepared by high pressure-high temperature synthesis in Kyoto. It has a distorted acentric perovskite structure with order of high...
