Probing the crystal field of dysprosium (III) single-ion magnets with enhance...
SMMs have received much attention owing to their quantum tunneling and slow relaxation of the magnetization. This has led to an intense activity by synthetic chemists to... -
Proton Delocalization in Liquid Hydrogen Chloride
Liquid HCl has attracted numerous studies focusing onto the role played by hydrogen bonding on the dynamical properties of this weakly associated liquid. Previous computational... -
Inelastic neutron scattering investigations of the high temperature phase tra...
Recently it has been reported that YbAl3C3 undergoes an antiferromagnetic quadrupolar ordering transition at 80 K, Further study by Ochiai et al. revealed that the transition at... -
Crystal Field Excitations in the Borderline Spin Ice Pr2Zr2O7
The title compound is expected to be a spin ice close to an instability which stabilises magnetic order. We can determine its spin Hamiltonian precisely by measuring the crystal... -
Study of the Hybridization Gap in the Topological Insulator YbB6
Topological insulators (TIs) are a new quantum state of matter which have bulk insulation but topologically protected metallic surface states. Initially, the TI state was... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
Melting point dynamics of Confined fluids
This proposal aims to investigate the dynamics of the melting transition in H2O and CO2 when confined in a vycor (SiO2) matrix. The field of fluids in confined geometries is... -
Cu-ion mobility and lattice dynamics in the liquid-like phase of Cu2Se
Thermoelectricity enables the conversion of waste heat into useful power, and it is becoming increasingly important for power recovery applications at high temperature, where... -
Magnetic excitations in a candidate magnetic XY analogue of graphene
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the experimental manifestation of topological properties of magnetic excitations. The honeycomb ferromagnet is... -
Neutron scattering investigation of spin-dynamics in the S= 1/2 trimer chain ...
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...
