Organic ferroelectrics are important materials because of their technological applications in low-cost non-volatile memory elements. Single-crystal croconic acid (C5O5H2) is the...

To understand the thermal conductivity suppression within PGEC titanate oxide thermoelectrics we hope to complement theoretical calculations performed on several perovskites...

We propose to measure the one- and multi-magnon excitations in the first realization of a S=1/2 quantum spin ladder in the strong-leg regime. Our material, DIMPY, has very well...

We propose to carry out an inelastic neutron scattering experiment at LET to investigate the excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7. In contrast to other single crystal...

We aim to determine the ligand field parameters of the [HoPc2]¿ complex belonging to the family of lanthanide double decker (Ln=Dy3+,Ho3+,Tb3+) single-molecule magnets (SMM),...

The present proposal is part of a larger EPSRC project advancing the vibrational spectroscopy of silicate glasses. The project involves the techniques of IR and Raman...

We propose inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiment on single crystal of the prototype topological insulator (TI), Bi2Se3, at MAPS to measure q-dependent joint-DOS, based...

We propose to study the spin wave excitations of nonsuperconducting single crystal Pr0.88LaCe0.12CuO4 (PLCCO). Previous experiments on superconducting PLCCO have shown that spin...

Heavy fermion systems situated close to a quantum critical point present very rich physics due to the dominant Kondo interactions. Our investigations on the Kondo lattice heavy...

Preliminary data on the spin excitation spectrum of the honeycomb lattice compound Na2Co2TeO6 are consistent with the existence of Kitaev interactions, as was recently proposed...

We propose to continue our investigation on LET of the Shastry-Sutherland compound SrCu2(BO3)2. The first part of the experiment aims to establish the Q-dependence, which will...

Our neutron study using MARI/MERLIN on Ce(Ru1-xFex) 2Al10 reveals very interesting magnetic excitations and a manuscript is ready to submit to PRB. In x=0 (TN=27 K) a...

The use of the J 0-to-1 rotational transition of dihydrogen has been extensively used to characterise the state if hydrogen in and on materials. The disadvantage of studying the...

Spin-trimer chain systems are of current interest due to unconventional properties arising from the strong quantum fluctuations and topology, such as, quantum phenomenon of...

Interesting behaviour in Heisenberg spin systems originates from networks of triangles or tetrahedra, where spins interact via antiferromagnetic interactions. In 3D there are...

Materials displaying ultralow lattice thermal conductivity (k_Lat) are crucial to realizing high performing thermoelectric materials to convert waste heat into electrical...

Nanowires can be used for devices based on thermoelectrics and to convert the heat into electrical current. The material design challenge here is to create the materials where...

There are no magneto-structural correlations for clusters containing transition metal ions with non-zero orbital angular momentum in the ground state. Octahedrally coordinated...

In our recent experiments on MERLIN we have established that the spin excitations in Fe(Se,Te) emanating from incommensurate positions near (0.5 0.5 0) extends at least to 250...
