Spin-orbit transitions of Co3+ in LaCoO3
In our first measurement of the high energy spectrum of LaCoO3 we observed a signal which is a promising candidate for an electronic transition from the low spin ground state of... -
Electronic state of Co3+ in LaCoO3
We will search for spin-orbit transitions of the Co3+ ions in LaCoO3. The ground state is a non-magnetic singlet, but there continues to be a debate about the nature of the... -
QENS studies of improved hydrogen release in nanostructured ammonia borane fi...
Increasing the density of hydrogen storage is critical for the commercial introduction of hydrogen vehicles. Our nanostructured electrospun ammonia borane (AB)-polystyrene (PS)... -
Neutron diffraction study of metal-free organic ferromagnet above room temper...
Purely organic ferromagnetic materials, which contains only light elements, have gained a great deal of interest because, in contrast to conventional ferromagnet, they show... -
Determination of the magnetic structure in the coupled trimer spin system Ba4...
When isolated spin clusters are weakly coupled to each other, zero-dimensional quantum and three-dimensional collective magnetism concomitantly occur. This is envisioned in the... -
Magnetic order in two pyrochlore iridates
Iridium oxides are of interest because many novel magnetic phases have been predicted in crystals, depending on the geometry of the crystal lattice. Our proposal concerns two... -

Two dimensional (2D) metal chalcogenides are constituted by covalently/ionically bonded atomic layers that are held together via interlayer van der Waals (vdW) forces, and... -
Magnetic structure and multiferroicity in metal-formate perovskites
The family of guanadinium metal formates (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) are isostructural with the perovskites and are therefore of interest for potential applications: in particular,... -
