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...

We propose to study the evolution of the spectral features in the dynamical magnetic response in series Yb_{1-x}Tm_{x}B_{12} (x=0.15, 0.6, 0.8). Tm doping results in non-trivial...

Here we propose to investigate the excitation spectrum of the new spin-ladder compound MgCu2O3. Unlike typical spin-ladders this compound has a rung coupling that is much weaker...

Single-molecule magnets (SMM) exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation have attracted increasing interest, both from a fundamental point of view, and for the potential practical...

The recent discovered iron pnictide superconductor which shows a transition temperature up to 50K has drawn much attention in the community. There are indications that...

UPd3 exhibits four antiferroquadrupolar (AFQ) ordered phases below T0=7.6K. We have determined their order parameters using resonant x-ray diffraction. UPd3 has the dhcp crystal...

We propose to investigate the highly one-dimensional (1D) S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet (NO)[Cu(NO3)3] which is a potential realization of the Nersesyan-Tsvelik model. The...

For non-Fermi liquid compounds, the dynamical susceptibility, as determined from inelastic neutron scattering, is particularly interesting as it exhibits universal energy...

A previous allocation of beamtime on MAPS [RB720354] revealed the vibrational fingerprint of methane reforming catalysts operating under so-called ¿dry¿ reforming conditions....

This proposal was submitted on MERLIN (RB1010206) and beam time was allocated on MARI. We have carried out low energy measurements on MARI and found a clear evidence of the spin...

Antimony sulfo-iodide (SbSI) exhibits strongly-coupled photoconductive, semiconducting, and ferroelectric properties. Until the discovery of the lead-oxide ferroelectric relaxor...

The FeTe1-xSex series exhibits superconductivity over a broad range of doping. Previously we have made extensive neutron scattering measurements on superconducting x = 0.49 and...

At low temperatures FeSi is a non-magnetic insulator, but becomes a metallic paramagnet for T > 300K. It has been proposed to be a Kondo insulator in which local electron...

The triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the classic example of the frustrated magnet, here the ground state forms a non-collinear 120° structure. A number of different...

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...

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...

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 aim of our experiment is to map out the excitation spectrum of the recently-discovered superconducting AxFe2Se2 system for energy transfers of up to 250 meV. This...
