Probing the magnetic structure of transition metal pyrovanadates Co2V2O7
We had been given 1 day of beam time on WISH, RB1710144, to investigate the magnetic structure of T2V2O7 (T=Mn, Ni, Co) We performed power neutron diffraction measurements on... -
Spin flop in antiferromagnetic CuMnAs
CuMnAs has emerged as a testbed system for studying the interaction between spin-orbit coupled charge carriers and antiferromagnetic order, with potential applications in... -
Correlation between structure and properties in Bi0.7La0.3FeO3
Bi0.7La0.3FeO3 has received extensive attention in the past years, since this compound exhibits simultaneously ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism at room temperature. Despite... -
Nuclear and magnetic structure determination of Pb4MnReO13 and Pb2MnReO6
Lead based oxides are wildly used in material science in order to obtain non-centrosymmetric structures that eventually lead to polar or piezoelectric distortion, which coupled... -
Are La3Ni2NbO9 and La3Ni2TaO9 relaxor ferromagnets?
A relaxor ferroelectric exhibits a net polarisation only in an applied electric field due to the co-alignment of polar nanoregions. In La3Ni2SbO9 we found the magnetic... -
Search for magnetic order in a frustrated triangular lattice organic system
This proposal is part of our research programme on novel quantum phases in frustrated lattices. Here we propose to determine the magnetic structure in a quasi-two-dimensional... -
Uniaxial pressure induced spin-density wave order in CeAuSb2
We propose to apply uniaxial strain to induce a spin-density wave (SDW) modulation in CeAuSb2. Neutron diffraction measurements show this system has a tendency to order along... -
