The ternary rare-earth compounds REInCu4 show strong indications of frustration resulting in a very low AF ordering temperature of the rare earth moments. The crystal structure...

We propose to study the structural and magnetic properties of three double perovskites Ca2-xLaxFeRuO6. Room temperature PXRD has revealed that all these compounds are...

We propose to study the defect behaviour of ZnGeN2 as a representative material for the emerging class of Zn-IV-N2 solar absorber materials. As earth-abundant alternatives to...

Safe and efficient storage and transport of energy carriers will become a critical step towards the application of renewable energies. Application of porous materials in tank...

We propose to investigate field-induced exotic ordered magnetic states of coupled Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids (TLL) by single crystal neutron diffraction on the quasi-1D S=1/2...

Our group has recently discovered i-R-Cd quasicrystals showing spin-glass like behavior and the related cubic approximants RCd6 with long-range magnetic order at low...

The compounds Bi1-xSmxFeO3 exhibit concentration- driven transition from the polar rhombohedral phase to the anti-polar orthorhombic one and temperature- driven transition into...

In this proposal we would like to investigate the Jahn-Teller activity and its role on the global magnetic ordering and crystal structure of Fe and Ti co-doped ferrimagnetic...

SmB6, a long-known mixed-valence material, has been proposed as the first topological Kondo insulator. Early neutron scattering experiments revealed a 14 meV resonant mode at...

We propose elastic neutron powder diffraction experiments on newly discovered perovkite bismuthates, (Ca,K)BiO3. Known as one of the earliest high-Tc oxide superconductors,...

In recent years it has been established that the natural mineral polymorphs atacamite and clinoatacamite (chemical formula Cu2Cl(OH)3) exhibit a low temperature magnetic...

This proposal is a continuation of our long-term project aiming to understand magnetism of rare earth intermetallics. Five R5Pd2In4 (R = Tb – Tm) indides are intended to be...

Cu2ZnGeSe4 and Cu2ZnSnSe4 are quaternary semiconductors belonging to the adamantine compound family, contain only abundant elements, which makes these materials promising...

The project is aimed at unveiling structural aspects of the newly synthesised Ti45-xVxZr38Ni17 (x = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40) alloys and their deuterides. The obtained...

CeCu2Ge2 (CCG) is the isostructural magnetic counterpart of archetypal unconventional superconductor CeCu2Si2 (CCS). The understanding of the magnetic interactions in CCG...

A two-dimensional kagome antiferromagnet can achieve a spin-liquid ground state due to strong quantum uctuations and geometrical frustrations, but the topological nature of its...

Lithium-rich or Ni-rich layered oxides cathode materials have attracted great attentions owing to their specific high capacity for lithium-ion batteries, but the poor rate...

Safe and efficient storage and transport of energy carriers will become a critical step towards the application of renewable energies. Application of porous materials in tank...

We propose a neutron diffraction study at HFM-EXED to determine the magnetic structures of two new high-field phases of LiNiPO4. In a recent pulsed-field experiment at SNS we...

TeVO4 is one of the compounds in which magnetic moments form a frustrated zigzag spin-1/2 chain, due to competing nearest-neighbour and second-nearest neighbour interactions. It...
