We propose to perform high-resolution neutron diffraction on strained Ca3Ru2O7, a material in which electron correlations, spin-orbit coupling and crystal fields combine to...

New electronic phases often emerge in the proximity of a quantum critical point (QCP) - that is the point where the transition temperature of a collective phase transition is...

Justification: We'd like to apply for three days Director’s Discretionary time on WISH to continue the experiment on measures of quantum entanglement in a model 1D magnet. This...

We have established the material LiErF4 as a dipolar antiferromagnet with planar anisotropy, exhibiting both classical and quantum phase transitions. Where, thermal transition...

This proposal is part of our research programme to investigate quantum magnets on frustrated lattices in search for novel types of magnetic order and spin dynamics. Here we...

This proposal is part of our research programme on spin and orbital order in frustrated systems. AgNiO2 has a layered crystal structure with Jahn-Teller active Ni3+ ions forming...

The magnetic properties of a Holmium single ion magnetic system will be studied using implanted muons. The system is based on a polyoxometallate cluster ion that provides good...

New manganese-based double perovskites Mn2-xCaxFeReO6 have been synthesised at high pressure. Mn2FeReO6 has spin-active cations at all sites; S = 5/2 Mn2+, S = 5/2 Fe3+ and S =...

Heterogeneous catalysis, where the reagents are either contained in a liquid medium, or are liquids in their own right, plays a significant part of the chemical industry. These...

YbNiSn is an Ising ferromagnet with non-colinear spins that undergoes a first order magnetic transition in low magnetic field (0.9 T). The transition is associated with strong...

LiZn2Mo3O8 is a highly unusual geometrically frustrated material: the magnetic moments are associated not with single ions but with small transition-metal clusters. The spin is...

Single-molecule magnets (SMM) exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation have attracted increasing interest, both from a fundamental point of view, and for the potential practical...

Systems with antiferromagnetic ordering that is driven predominantly by dipolar interactions are very rare, as the dipolar interaction is inherently weak compared to the...

In recent years, there has been a large research interest in noncentrosymmetric systems in part due to the exotic physics these systems display. Examples of chiral magnets...

Owing to their promising applications, especially in spintronics, multiferroics have been at theforefront of condensed matter research for a number of years. In these materials,...

Chiral magnets with topologically protected states, such as magnetic Skyrmions in Cu2OSeO3, have been the center of attention of the scientific community in recent times due to...

This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we plan to use...

Because of the potential applications of multiferroicity, the discovery of a new multiferroic (MF) material is invariably met with great enthusiasm in the condensed matter...

Topological insulators are 3D materials with a band gap in the bulk-electronic structure but with gapless, delocalized, surface states. The most studied topological insulator is...

In cubic B20 structures, skyrmions, topologically-protected three-dimensional spin textures, arise from competition of the ferromagnetic exchange interaction and the...
