Further crystal field excitation data for pyrochlore zirconates.
Nd2Zr2O7 (NZO), synthesized and supplied to us by Tokura and Onose, is a new candidate spin ice while Pr2Zr2O7 (PZO) if anything even more promising is supplied to us by... -
Neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering study on NdT2Al10 (T= Ru...
We have investigated the magnetic structure and crystal field excitations (CEF) of CeT2Al10 (T=Os and Ru). The observed magnetic moment along the c-axis does not agree with that... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study of PrTSi3 (T = Ir, Rh and Ru)
Recently we have synthesized and investigated three new ternary intermetallic compounds PrTSi3 (T = Ir, Rh and Ru) which form in BaNiSn3-type tetragonal structure (space group... -
collective dynamics and structural heterogeneity in an ionic liquid
We propose to investigate the high frequency dynamics of ionic liquid (IL), 1octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C8MIM]Cl) deuterated by means of Inelastic Neutron Scattering... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study on new Mott-insulating oxychalcogenides, L...
La2O2M2OSe2 (M=Fe, Co, Mn) are layered Mott-insulating antiferromagnets with a potential to be a non-copper high-Tc superconductor. All compounds have shown unusual magnetic... -
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... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study on CeMnAsO and LaMnAsO
RMnAsO (R = Ce and La) are isostructural compounds with Fe-based oxypnictides, but has a unique properties as Mott insulator unlike the nonsuperconducting parent compounds of... -
Phonon Density of States in Nanocrystalline YAG:Cr
Here we propose to measure the phonon density of states in nanocrystalline samples of YAG:Cr. Our parallel luminscence measurements have revealed dramatic changes in the phonon... -
INS on a 2D quantum spin liquid candidate material without structural disorder.
The ordered double perovskite Sr2CuWO6 is a quasi-two dimensional J1/J2 frustrated square lattice model antiferromagnet. The divalent Cu carries S = 1/2 while the W (VI) is 4d0.... -
Neutron scattering and muSR studies of magnetic phenomena in YFe2Al10: case s...
In strongly correlated electron systems, the proximity to magnetic ordering has been of special interest. Magnetism in this class of systems is often suppressed by the Kondo... -
EuCu2(Ge1-xSix)2 : from mixed valence to stable moment excitation spectrum
An inelastic neutron scattering experiment is proposed to study magnetic excitation spectra of representative EuCu2(Ge1-xSix)2 samples. These sytems provide the possibility to... -
Giant magneto-elastic interactions and changes in the phonon spectrum of CoMnSi
Neutrons are almost never used to examine the role of phonons in materials with large magnetocaloric effects, despite the large magneto-elastic coupling often exhibited by them.... -
Vibrational density of States and Occupational Disorder in the Halogenomethanes
Halogenomethane derivatives exhibit thermally induced solid¿solid phase transitions before melting that are attributed to the ability to gain rotational degrees of freedom in...
