Tuning cycloidal ordering by epitaxial strain in BiFeO3 thin films
Owing to their promising applications, especially in spintronics, multiferroics have been at the fprefront of condensed matter research for a number of years. In these... -
To measure the length scale of magnetic domains across the metal to insulator...
Pr, Ca co-doped LaMnO3(LPCMO) exhibits a variety of complex physical properties owing to the co-existence and competition of different structural, magnetic and electronic... -
Measurement of Mechanically Induced Residual Stress Field on Conventional Fra...
This project focuses on the development of new numerical modelling techniques for fatiguecrack growth and in particular, non-uniform crack front evolution and crack growth... -
Phase transformation stress in titanium alloys in additive manufacturing
Residual Stresses are a big challenge in 3D printing. They develop because the deposited material cools down, but it cannot shrink.One of the most widely used materials in 3D... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -
Diffse scattering Investigation of magnetic correlations in CsCrMgF6
The modified pyrochlores AM2+M3+F6 (A alkali metal ion, M transition metal ion) are a class of highly frustrated materials that have a randomness associated with the positions... -
Low energy excitations in solid 4He
The atoms in solid helium are weakly bound and have small mass so that the overlap of their wave functions (zero point motion) is large, making it a quantum solid close to the... -
Magnetic structure determination of electron doped Kondo insulator CeFe2Al10
CeFe2Al10 belongs to CeT2Al10 family (T: Ru, Os, Fe), which exhibits Kondo insulating behavior, with an unusual competition of strongly anisotropic crystal-field and exchange... -
Neutron Diffraction Studies on CaCrFe3As3 compound
We propose to obtain 3 days of beam time on SXD equipped with its new top-loading CCR to analyze CaCrFe3As3 single crystals at different temperatures 10 K, 100 K and 300 K (the...
