Probing the wetting transition in a semiconducting liquid crystal thin film b...
The aim of this experiment is to study the nucleation and molecular layer-by-layer growth of a 'thin film' (TF) phase at the buried substrate interface of thin films of fully... -
Quantum critical dynamics in the purely dipolar antiferromagnet LiErF4
LiErF4 is an example of an XY dipolar coupled antiferromagnet with planar anisotropy. As such it exhibits a quantum phase transition (QPT) in a small field of 4kOe, which is of... -
Magnetic Excitation Spectrum of the Frustrated Antiferromagnet SrYb2O4
In SrYb2O4 the magnetic Yb3+ ions form sub-lattices of double chains running parallel to the crystallographic c-axis with frustrated first and second neighbour antiferromagnetic... -
Zero field splitting and quasiparticle breakdown in the two-dimensional quant...
In our recent NRSE experiment on the quasi two-dimensional quantum spin liquid PHCC at TRISP at FRM-II, we have found a zero field splitting (ZFS) of the magnon line of about 50... -
Soft Modes in the Ferroelectric Semiconductor SbSI
Antimony sulfo-iodide (SbSI) exhibits strongly-coupled photoconductive, semiconducting, and ferroelectric properties. Until the discovery of the lead-oxide ferroelectric relaxor... -
Spin-Lattice coupling in Frustrated Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet AFeO2 ...
In this proposal, we would like to propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on the powder samples of the frustrated antiferromagnets AFeO2 (A=Cu and Ag) using WISH. In... -
Neutron Diffraction study of Highly Frustrated SrEr2O4
We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked... -
In-situ hydrogen decomposition studies of ammonia borane and the diammoniate ...
Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. We have extensively studied the low temperature behaviour of this material This proposal asks for 3...
