Understanding the effects of pressure and temperature on the structure of an ...
The discovery of superconductivity in iron-pnictide materials has generated much excitement in the past year about possibly unifying mechanisms for high-temperature... -
Unravelling spin fluctuation components in a stripe-ordered cuprate
In previous experiments at ILL we observed a gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum of the stripe-ordered superconductor (La,Nd)2-xSrxCuO4, x=0.12. We observed a spin gap of... -
Search for magnetic correlations in Fe phosphide superconductors
We propose to use inelastic neutron scattering to search for the existence of spin fluctuations in two iron phosphide superconductors, (La,Ca)FePO and Sr2ScFePO3. The objective... -
Is magnetic frustration behind the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition in t...
It has been argued that the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural transition found in all the parent phases of the Fe-pnictide superconductors is driven by frustration, and... -
Search for magnetic fluctuations and a spin resonance in FeSe intercalated wi...
Very recently, bulk superconductivity has been found at Tc = 43 K in the layered compound FeSe intercalated with Li ions and amide and ammonia molecular groups. We propose to... -
Is there electronic nematic order in Fe pnictides?
The concept of an electronic nematic, in which the electronic wavefunctions have different symmetry to the crystal structure, has been proposed to explain several unusual... -
Spin dynamics in FeSi
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... -

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... -
Spin-orbit transitions of Co3+ in LaCoO3
In our first measurement of the high energy spectrum of LaCoO3 we observed a signal which is a promising candidate for an electronic transition from the low spin ground state of... -
Spin excitations in LiFeAs, a stoichiometric ferropnictide superconductor at ...
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... -
Magnetic excitation spectrum in a new magnetically-ordered Fe-based supercond...
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...
