One of the most studied skyrmion-hosting materials is the magnetoelectric insulator Cu2OSeO3 which raises the exciting prospect of manipulating the skyrmion-phase through the...

In a typical magnetic material the interactions between neighbouring magnetic moments will tend to lead to their ordered alignment throughout the entire structure as it is...

Recent investigations of physical properties of ACo2As2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) indicate that Co-based arsenides could be a potential parent compound like the parent AFe2As2. While...

This proposal aims to study the avoided level crossing resonances (ALCs) of the amorphous polymer PTAA, with chain length 80. Previous measurements on PTAA have studied a...

The presence of a Hebel-Slichter peak in NMR or µSR measurements just below the critical temperature of superconductors is taken to be strong evidence for conventional behaviour...

The increasing global demand for portable energy means that the search for new electrode materials for rechargeable solid-state batteries is an important scientific challenge....

R2RuO5 (R = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb) are known to exhibit interesting physical properties. They all show magnetic ordering between 8 ¿ 24 K. They also show large Sommerfeld...

Magnetic skyrmions are nanometric topological vortex-like spin textures that appear in select materials and have lately attracted a lot of attention due to their numerous...

Thermal, magnetic, neutron and muSR measurements all point towards a gapless or almost gapless spin liquid ground state for the triangular lattice spin system of S=1/2 Mo3...

MV2O6 brannerites have a network structure in which chains of edge-sharing MO6 octahedra result in 1-dimensional magnetic properties. A recent study reported monoclinic CoV2O6...

All known iron-based superconductors comprise layers of FeAs or FeSe with some combination of group I, group II or lanthanide oxide layers, and usually some doping. To make...

The members of the series ACrO2 (where A=Li, Na, K) comprise well-decoupled, highly ideal triangular planes containing isotropic spins. While the A=Li and Na materials have been...

Recently, barlowite Cu4(OH)6FBr have been attracting much attention as a new kagome system with a Z2 topological order, which may yield spin liquid state at relative high...

In this proposal we suggest an investigation of the time reversal symmetry breaking in the superconducting compounds YRuB2 and LuRuB2 with orthorhombic structure (space group...

The thermoelectric properties of NaxCoO2 can be substantially improved by replacing Na ions by cations of higher valence. Our neutron diffraction studies on SXD for doping with...

The spin ice compounds Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 have come to enormous attention in the past year with the observation of excitations resembling magnetic monopoles. Here we propose...

Here we propose measurements on a unique, newly synthesized series of coordination polymers based on chains of Cu2+ ions. These have been designed with the intention of...

Metamagnetic Shape Memory Alloys (MMSMAS) undergo a martensitic transformation which is accompanied with a large drop in magnetization on cooling, making the low temperature...

We propose to investigate AgFBF4, a compound known for > 20 years, with muon spectroscopy. The scope is to determine the 3D ordering temperature as well as estimate the value...

Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has often lead to exotic properties in otherwise banal pool of 'paramagnetic' heavy ion oxides. In this context d4 Ir systems are exciting...
