Shifting the tricritical point in CoMnSi
We have a long-standing interest in the temperature- and magnetic field-evolution of magnetic and crystal structure in CoMnSi. This is driven by an interest in the... -
A comparative study of tricriticality in CoMnSi and NiMnGe
We propose to use WISH to examine whether a transition between different spiral antiferromagnetic structures in zero magnetic field is the key to tricriticality at finite fields... -
Pressure response of CoMnSi: an anisotropic metamagnet with giant magnetoelas...
We wish to use elastic (this experiment) and inelastic neutron scattering (experiments on MARI and MERLIN submitted in this round) as an approach to quantify the change in... -
Giant magneto-elastic interactions and changes in the phonon spectrum of CoMnSi
Neutrons are almost never used to examine the role of phonons in materials with large magnetocaloric effects, despite the large magneto-elastic coupling often exhibited by them.... -
Giant magnetostriction in CoMnSi: a tricritical metamagnet with large changes...
For several years, we have been studying the thermodynamics of the metamagnetic phase transition in CoMnSi and substituted versions. Our motivation has been that the... -
Study of hybridization gap and insulator-metal transition in caged compounds ...
Heavy fermion compounds with a small energy gap opening in the strongly hybridised 4f-band at EF are currently under intensive investigations. Recently some of us have...
