Roles of magnetic anisotropy and inter site exchange interactions in the temp...
NdMnO3 exhibits A-type antiferromagnetism with TN =73 K. At 15 K, Nd sublattice orders with a (0, -Fy, 0) type ferromagnetic arrangement. Mn spin reorientation from (Ax, Fy, 0)... -
Search for magnetic correlations in Fe phosphide superconductors
We propose to use inelastic neutron scattering to search for the existence of spin fluctuations in two iron phosphide superconductors, LaFePO and Sr2ScFePO3. The objective is to... -
Crystal field excitations to understand anisotropy behavior in new Ce based h...
Recently we have synthesised new caged-type heavy fermion compounds CeT4Al15 (T=Rh and Ir) and investigated using bulk measurements. The low temperature susceptibility, heat... -
Spin excitations in LiFeAs, a stoichiometric ferropnictide superconductor at ...
We propose to measure the powder-averaged spin excitation spectrum of LiFeAs, a new member of the ferropnictide family of superconductors. This compound is special because it is... -
Resonant Spin Excitation in Single Crystal of Ba0.8K0.2Fe2As2
We recently observed a resonant spin excitation in Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2, one of the newly discovered iron arsenide superconductors with Tc=38K, on MERLIN. This demonstrates that the... -
The origin of ultra-low thermal conductivity in the thermal barrier material ...
Thermal barrier materials are used in modern turbines to enable them to run above the melting temperature of the turbine blades. However, to go to higher temperatures (and... -
Effect of oxygen vacancies on the phonon dispersion of pyrochlores
The frustrated magnetism of pyrochlores makes them candidates for applications in magnetic cooling and scientific instrumentation, and the proposal that they can be used to... -
Determination of the crystal electric field scheme in geometrically frustrate...
The magnetic ground state in geometrically frustrated lanthanide oxides is determined by the interplay between different magnetic interactions and crystal electric field (CEF)... -
Study of the Hollandite Bi1.7V8O16: a possible spin liquid candidate?
Bi1.7V8O16 is a member of the Hollandite family and its structure is base upon two sets of V4+ (S = 1/2) and V3+ (S = 1) chains. Bi1.7V8O16 undergoes a Metal-Insulator... -
Magnetic excitations from two-dimensional interpenetrating Cu framework in Ba...
The Heisenberg antiferromagnet is a well-known model used to describe the magnetic properties of layered and metal-organic Mott insulators which have been explored both... -
Neutron Spin resonance in the Fe-based silicide superconductor LaFeSiH
The iron-based superconductors (Fe-SC) are one of the most active and challenging topics in condensed matter physics. Very recently some of us (F. Bernardini et al.) have... -
Geometrical frustration induced quantum phase transition in CeRh1-xPdxSn: Ine...
The quasi-kagome Kondo lattice CeRhSn exhibits intriguing properties, which ascribe to quantum criticality induced by geometrical frustration. Divergent Grüneisen ratios provide...
