Magnetic order and magnetoelectric coupling in InFe2.5Sn0.5O6
Research to develop single phase materials that are polar and ferromagnetic at room temperature is driven by the hope of switching ferroelectric order with an applied electric... -
In-Situ Studies of Alternative Mobile-Ions for High-Temperature Thermal Batte...
Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,... -
MuSR study to investigation a small moment magnetic ordering in Ce(Os1-xFex)2...
Our recent musr studies on CeT 2Al10 (T=Os and Ru) reveal a clear sign of long range magnetic ordering below 28 K in both the compounds. More interestingly the frequency... -
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... -
Oxygen ion diffusion in oxides
In order to detect oxygen diffusion in electrolyte materials in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, we here want to propose a muSR experiment on three oxide electrolytes exhibitng good... -
New Lifshits magnetic liquid phase in a non-centrosymmetric compound Mn3RhSi
Recently, new phase with Lifshits invariant of incommensurability is reported as a solitonic spin-liquid state above the magnetically ordered phase on Fe1-yTe. It cannot not be... -
Neutron diffraction study of antiperovskite Mn3CoXN: a potential magnetocalor...
Materials exhibiting giant magnetocaloric effect (i.e. the large temperature change under a magnetic field variation) are the most promising type for magnetic refrigeration.... -
Spin dynamics and magnetism in CeRh6(Ge1-xSix)4
In Ce-based heavy fermion materials, there is competition between the interactions which lead to a magnetically ordered arrangement of the Ce magnetic moments, and the... -
Muon spin relaxation studies of KTCNQ and related compounds
Potassium tetracyanoquinodimenthane (KTCNQ) undergoes a spin-Peierls (SP) transition at 396K where a transformation from uniform to dimerised TCNQ- molecules in 1D columns... -
Structural Investigations of Nickel-Substituted Bornite
We wish to collect powder neutron diffraction data on modified bornites, Cu5Fe1-xNixS4 (0<x<0.1) to study the impact of nickel substitution on the distribution of cations...
