Quantum phase transitions are abrupt qualitative changes of a system's groundstate occurring only at exactly zero temperature. Such critical points - although never reachable...

Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Whilst magnetocaloric...

Entanglement refers to the phenomenon of two quantum mechanical objects correlated with each other at large distances and proposed to affect quantum criticality, the critical...

In condensed matter physics, the search for new exotic quantum ground states has become a central theme over the past few years. Among the 3D quantum spin liquid candidates, the...

The LaFe13-xSix system (x<1.6) has a first order ferromagnetic, FM, to paramagnetic, PM, transition that is tunable in magnetic field, ending at a (tri)critical point (Hcrit,...

In the quest to find high-temperature ferromagnetic topological insulators (TIs), we have explored different transition-metal and rare-earth doped thin film and bulk samples...

We propose a study of Mu dynamics and the low temperature Mu$^0$-like states in TiO$_{2}$ under near-IR illumination to investigate the resulting excitonic states and behaviour....

Recently new molecular based magnets Li2AMo3O8 (A = In and Sc), where Mo3O8 clusters form S = 1/2 triangular lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet, were synthesized....

In the vicinity of x ~ 0.75, LixCoO2 has potential as a thermoelectric, since it has a high Seebeck coefficient and metallic conductivity. We have performed the first successful...

This proposal addresses the formation of a metamagnetic phase transition in PrPtAl. PrPtAl exhibits induced moment magnetism where singlet-mixing is stabilised by inter-site...

The proposing team is interested in exploring the low-temperature quantum "rattling" dynamics of helium atom(s) trapped in water-based cages (namely the so-called "clathrate...

We request 4 days on IRIS to study the temperature dependance of the structural dynamics in amorphous sodium-ammonia (Na-NH3). This will be the first investigation of the...

While traditionally considered competing phenomena, recent theoretical and experimental work has shown that, when juxtaposed, there is a wealth of proximity effects in...

The recent experimental verification of the unique odd-frequency spin triplet superconductivity in artificial thin film ferromagnetic-superconducting structures is likely to...

This proposal aims to exploit the superior flux on the upgraded HRPD coupled with the intrinsic high resolution to correlate the magnetic structure and the crystal structure of...

The microscopic origin of neutron spin resonance remains one of the major debates in iron-based superconductors. The spin resonance in iron pnictides is generally interpreted as...

The discovery of slow relaxation of the magnetization and quantum effects in the single-molecule magnet (SMM) Mn12-ac in 1993 has inspired both physicist and chemist alike. A...

The aim of this proposal is to understand the origin of the cascade of magnetisation plateaus in monoclinic CoV2O6. While 1/3 plateaus have been reported in the literature,...

Compared to carbon nanotubes, metal-oxide imogolite nanotubes (INT), with nominal composition (OH)3Al2O3SixGe1-x(OH), have the peculiarity to have a perfectly defined diameter D...

The hepta-nuclear Fe(III) title compound Fe7 exhibits a unique antiferromagnetic exchange topology reminiscent of a three-bladed propeller, giving rise to spin frustration, also...
