Crystal field excitations on a new triangular-lattice antiferromagnet
The magnetic properties and ground state of a new triangular-lattice antiferromagnetic candidate NdMgAl11O19 were studied by magnetization measurements and neutron scattering... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies on YbCu4Ga8
We discovered a new compound YbCu4Ga8 and the available laboratory single crystal data shows that it crystallizes in the tetragonal system. The asymmetric unit contains one Yb... -
In-situ High Temperature Studies of BiFeO3 in a Stabilising Oxygen Atmosphere
The drive to find novel materials for applications such as data storage has led to a resurgence in research into multiferroic materials. Bismuth ferrite is the most widely... -
Anomalous elasticity in negative thermal expansion materials
Recent experimental work on the negative thermal expansion material Zn(CN)2 has shown that the elastic stiffness is anomalously reduced on compression. That is, if B is the bulk... -
Crystal and Magnetic Structures of Ba2BTeO6 (B=Cu, Ni, Zn)
Ba2CuTeO6 and Ba2NiTeO6 are compounds with structures related to that of the proposed spin liquid Ba3CuSb2O9. The space group and nature of the B-site ordering in Ba3CuSb2O9... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study of PrTSi3 (T = Ir, Rh and Ru)
Recently we have synthesized and investigated three new ternary intermetallic compounds PrTSi3 (T = Ir, Rh and Ru) which form in BaNiSn3-type tetragonal structure (space group... -
Reentrant Structural Transitions and Collapse of Charge and Orbital Orders in...
A-site ordered quadruple perovskites, AA3B4O12, show many interesting physical and chemical properties, for example, inter-site charge transfer and disproportionation, giant... -
The coupling of spin and charge correlations in La2-xSrxCuO4
Charge density wave (CDW) order has recently been established as a generic feature of high-temperature cuprate superconductors. It occurs near 1/8 doping and has been observed... -
Investigation of interface magnetism in LSMO/LNO heterostructures
The exchange bias effect (EBE) initially observed at ferromagnetic (FM)/antiferromagnetic (AFM) interfaces in correlated rare earth oxides has been a topic of intense research... -
Magnetostriction in (Bi,La) orthoferrites
We have recently observed unusual magnetostrictive behaviour in Bi0.5La0.5FeO3 (BLFO), a phenomenon which is not present in either solid solution end member. This proposal seeks... -

We request 6 days of HRPD time in order to study the structures on the tetragonal side of the lead zirconate-titanate (PZT) phase diagram, a region that has so far been rather... -
Copy of: Neutron photocrystallography study of [Ni(dppe)(n1-NO2)Cl]
Photocrystallography is an important technique in modern structural chemistry. The most recent and impressive developments of this technique in "small molecule" crystallography... -
Neutron Diffraction Study of a Spin-1/2 Pyrochlore Lu2Mo2O5N2
Ammonolysis of R2Mo2O7 pyrochlores gives R2Mo2O5N2 containing S = ½ Mo5+. They are excellent candidate materials for investigation of quantum spin liquid phenomena and we have... -
Interlayer and Interparticle Water in Clays
Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for... -
Low temperature phase transitions in ferroelectric tris-sarcosine calcium chl...
Small-molecule based ferroelectrics offer several advantages over the currently used materials based on heavy metal oxides (i.e. cost, environmental-friendliness). There are... -
