We have synthesised the series of lanthanide complexes Ln(trensal-thiophene), where Ln = Er, Dy, Yb and H3trensal = 2,2’,2”-tris(salicylideneimino)trimethylamine. These...

Mononuclear Ni(II) complexes can be designed to behave as two-level systems and thus play the role of qbits with eventually large coherence time. The objective of this proposal...

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...

To determine the crystal fields of hexagonal RRh3 (R=Pr, Nd) compounds showing ferromagnetic transitions at TC=3 and 6 K, respectively, we plan to perform inelastic neutron...

The borocarbides PrPt2B2C and PrPd2B2C forming in the tetragonal structure do not show any long range magnetic order down to 0.5 K. PrPt2B2C shows a superconducting transition...

Magnetic molecular framework materials, where the magnetic metal centres are linked together by molecules rather than single atoms, are a very exciting class of materials, as...

Nanocomposites offer a promising route for enhancing thermoelectric (TE) efficiency (ZT), which depends on interrelated material properties like Seebeck Coefficient, electrical...

To understand the thermal conductivity suppression within PGEC titanate oxide thermoelectrics we hope to complement theoretical calculations performed on several perovskites...

SrCuO2 is a prototypical S = 1/2 antiferromagnetic (AF) Heisenberg 1D spin chain system. High-resolution neutron scattering studies has already successfully revealed the gapless...

Thermoelectricity offers solutions for the low-carbon economy through the development of energy-efficient technology. Modest improvement in thermoelectric performance would...

Preliminary data on the spin excitation spectrum of the honeycomb lattice compound Na2Co2TeO6 are consistent with the existence of Kitaev interactions, as was recently proposed...

CeCuxAl4-x compounds crystallize in the ordered non-centrosymmeric tetragonal BaNiSn3-type structure (space group 107, I4mm). The strong interaction between crystal field (CF)...

We propose to measure the inelastic scattering S(Q,E) maps from gallium in its liquid phases across a wide range of temperatures. This proposal is based on a new prediction for...

Several non-centrosymmetric heavy-fermion compounds have been reported to exhibit unconventional superconductivity (SC). For example, both CeRhSi3 and CeIrSi3 order...

An understanding of the electronic structure of the actinide elements is one of the most intriguing and complex topics in contemporary chemistry. In particular the magnetic...

The triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the classic example of the frustrated magnet, here the ground state forms a non-collinear 120° structure. A number of different...

We propose to use inelastic neutron scattering to search for the existence of spin fluctuations in two iron phosphide superconductors, LaFePO and Sr2ScFePO3. The objective is to...

The proposal addreses the compounds PrPtAl and YbNiSn. Both systems are canted ferromagnets with both materials undergoing moment reorientation transitions as a function of...

Recent theories and experiments on two-dimensional triangular lattice antiferromagnet show that the spin dynamics of these system exhibit the rare phenomena due to high-order...
