Quantum critical dynamics in the presence of disorder
Quantum phase transitions are abrupt qualitative changes of a system's groundstate occurring only at exactly zero temperature. Such critical points - although never reachable... -
Crystallographic and Magnetic structures of PrMn7O12
The study of novel manganites, where the tailoring of the Mn formal valence state on the B site is done by the ordering of different cations on the A site of the ABO3 (B:Mn)... -
Ferroelectric-antiferroelectric phase transformation behaviour in bismuth-mod...
The proposed experiment involves measurement of the structural changes during the ferroelectric rhombohedral to antiferroelectric orthorhombic phase transformation in PZT... -
Search for Antiferromagnetic order in ZrMn2
Today, about seventy years after Laves, there exists a fairly good knowledge about the basic structural principles of Laves phases but many questions still remain. AMn-type... -
High Temperature Spin Transition in LaCoO3
We aim to continue our investigation of the high temperature magnetic interactions in LaCoO3. Our previous experiment has confirmed magnetic susceptibility data, with a change... -
Investigation of giant crystal electric field (CEF) splitting in CeIr3Si2
CeIr3Si2 exhibits highly anisotropic bulk properties with two magnetic transitions at TN1 ~ 3.9 K and TN2 ~ 3.1 K. The overall CEF splitting of the J=5/2 ground multiplet of... -
Investigating the Diffusion Properties of Mixed Anion Perovskites
Since 2009, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become a topic of immense interest in the research community, while performances of PSCs are in a position to challenge the... -
Investigation of short range magnetic correlations in CeIr3Si2 using SR
CeIr3Si2 reveals highly anisotropic bulk properties with two magnetic transitions at TN1 ~ 3.9 K and TN2 ~ 3.1 K. The overall crystal electric field (CEF) splitting of the J=5/2... -
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...
