Cross coupling between ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetism in the multife...
We propose to investigate the interplay of magnetic and structural properties in the multiferroic PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3 (PFN). PFN is the magnetic analogue of the archetypal lead based... -
Investigation of the relevant thermodynamic parameters for the production of ...
With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously... -
Search for New Spin Density Wave State in CeRhIn5 caused by Fermi Surface Rec...
CeRhIn5 shows the rich phase diagram with superconductivity, spin density wave and charge density wave. The appearance of the Fermi surface nesting inside the antiferromagnetic... -
Verification of extended inverse Dzyloshinskii-Moriya mechanism by comparison...
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on single crystals, 3R-AgFeO2 and 2H-AgFeO2 on WISH. Recently, we have studied magnetic orderings and ferroelectricity of... -
Using neutron crystallography for investigating protonation states of a catal...
Chlorite dismutases (Clds) are metalloproteins containing heme b (i.e. Fe(III) in a porphyrin system) as redox cofactor. Clds are able to degrade toxic chlorite to chloride and... -
Tunable algebraic correlations and Kasteleyn transition in kagome ice
We propose to continue our search for the Kasteleyn transition in the kagome ice phase of the spin ice Ho2Ti2O7. The experiment requires the applied magnetic field to be... -
Magnetic structure below the metal-insulator transition of Pb2CaOsO6
This proposal is part of a project in which we explore the unusual physics of 5d transition metal oxides. Using a special high pressure technique, we have synthesised first... -
An S = 1/2 chiral staggered chain in a magnetic field
The molecule-based chiral spin chain, [Cu(pyrimidine)(H2O)4]SiF6·H2O exhibits staggered g-tensors, a rich low-temperature excitation spectrum and a spin gap that opens on... -
Magnetic properties of Graphene
This year Nobel Prize award to the discovery of graphene has evidenced the relevance of this material, which has outstanding physical properties and promising technological...
