Probing the mechanism of thermoelectric enhancement in Kondo insulator YbB12 ...
We propose to study the evolution of the spectral features in the dynamical magnetic response in series Yb_{1-x}Tm_{x}B_{12} (x=0.15, 0.6, 0.8). Tm doping results in non-trivial... -
Phonons and disorder in Yb2Ti2O7
The pyrochlores provide an excellent model system for studying the interaction of framework vibrational modes, defects and magnetism. We propose to investigate these couplings... -
Search for molecular quantization of spin and lattice excitations in the geom...
Geometric frustration is widely accepted as a paradigm to bring out a novel paramagnetic state. Quasielastic paramagnetic scattering has been studied by neutron scattering so... -
High resolution measurement of mode Grueneisen parameters in the negative the...
ZrW2O8 is the classic example of a material exhibiting negative thermal expansion (NTE), i.e. lattice shrinkage on warming. The origin of this behaviour has been controversial...
