In recent years topologically complex materials have provoked questions about the basic models of magnetism. These materials have given rise to unusual phenomena, including massless Dirac fermion quasiparticles in graphene, a honeycomb crystal structure, and the solid-state realisation of magnetic quasi-monopoles in spin ice, a pyrochlore structure. In the field of frustrated magnetism it has been recognised that the kagome compounds might yield the most fascinating diversity of behaviours. Gd3Ga5O12 is a 3D kagome compound with unusual short and longer range correlations. The proposal aims to probe the unusual short range correlations in single crystal Gd3Ga5O12 using high energy neutrons to overcome the large absorption cross section of Gd. This is possible using SXD.
