High-energy excitations in a spin orbital liquid on the diamond lattice
This proposal is part of our research programme on spin and orbital order in frustrated systems. The spinel FeSc2S4 realises an exotic ¿spin-orbital liquid¿ with no magnetic or... -
Crystal field and spin-wave excitations in the quasi-2D honeycomb zigzag anti...
The microscopic origin of the zigzag magnetic ground state in a honeycomb lattice of the quasi-2D antiferromagnet Na2Co2TeO6 is debatable. The zigzag phase may occur due to (i)... -
Spin Wave Dispersion in BaFe2As2
Understanding the magnetic exchange coupling and fundamental Hamiltonian of the parent compound of FeAs-based superconductors is extremely important, because such information... -
Simultaneous Raman and INS studies of high energy excitations in C70
The vibrational spectrum of C70 has been investigated by many techniques since it became available in significcant quantities. Previous INS spectra were recorded with small... -

Non-collinear antiferromagnets are currently an area of much active research due to their potential use in creating robust spintronic and spin memory devices. We have recently... -
Magnetic excitation in Sr2IrO4 : Establishing links to Cuprate superconductors
The strontium iridate Sr2IrO4 has recently received a special attention because of its closeresemblance to undoped high-Tc cuprate in terms of structural, electronic, and... -
Paramagnetic excitations in BaFe2As2 at high temperature
One fundamental issue in the iron-based superconductors is whether the conventional local moment Heisenberg model is sufficient to describe magnetism in these materials, or... -
Spin wave investigation in brownmillerite oxygen deficient perovskite Ca2Fe2O5
The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is thought to be responsible for the stabilization of weak ferromagnetism or magnetic spiral states in a number of diverse systems. An... -
