The anisotropy of the spin fluctuations in the electron nematic phase of Sr3R...
New electronic phases often emerge in the proximity of a quantum critical point (QCP) - that is the point where the transition temperature of a collective phase transition is... -
Magnetic frustration induced by applied magnetic fields in CeRhIn5
Quantum critical points (QCPs) have attracted continuous scientific interest due to the emergent phenomena observed in their vicinity, including unconventional superconductivity... -
Probing the wetting transition in a semiconducting liquid crystal thin film b...
The aim of this experiment is to study the nucleation and molecular layer-by-layer growth of a 'thin film' (TF) phase at the buried substrate interface of thin films of fully... -
Quantum critical dynamics in the purely dipolar antiferromagnet LiErF4
LiErF4 is an example of an XY dipolar coupled antiferromagnet with planar anisotropy. As such it exhibits a quantum phase transition (QPT) in a small field of 4kOe, which is of... -
Low energy excitations in solid 4He
The atoms in solid helium are weakly bound and have small mass so that the overlap of their wave functions (zero point motion) is large, making it a quantum solid close to the... -
Soft Modes in the Ferroelectric Semiconductor SbSI
Antimony sulfo-iodide (SbSI) exhibits strongly-coupled photoconductive, semiconducting, and ferroelectric properties. Until the discovery of the lead-oxide ferroelectric relaxor... -
Dynamical Signatures of Quantum Spin Ice in Tb2Ti2O7
We propose the first neutron scattering experiment on the frustrated magnet Tb2Ti2O7 in the presence of a magnetic field along [111]. This will allow us to uncover signatures of...
