Probing the vortex lattice in the iron-based superconductor FeSe
Magnetic field can penetrate a Type-II superconductor to form a vortex lattice (VL) due to the mutual repulsion between the vortices. VL is very important as it contains rich... -
Spin-Driven Multiferroics CdMn7O12 and SrMn7O12
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on powder samples of possible spin-induced multiferroic materials, 114CdMn7O12 and SrMn7O12, at ambient pressure and low... -
Spin excitation anisotropy in FeSe
Iron selenide (FeSe), a member of "11" family in iron-based superconductors, does not have static AF order; thus, the structural transition and associated nematic order have... -
Evolution of the structure of the Li/ND3 intercalate of FeSe with pressure
This experiment follows our ambient pressure characterisation of the Li intercalate of FeSe which is a superconductor with a Tc of 43 K. Li atoms, amide ions and ammonia... -
Resolving the structures of metal/ammonia intercalates of FeSe
This is a proposal to fully characterise the crystal structures of the superconducting metal/ammonia intercalates of FeSe made using low temperature methods. In particular we... -
Investigating short-range nematic correlations in paradigmatic iron-based sup...
Iron-based superconductors possess an unusual property known as electronic nematicity, in which electrons spontaneously choose a preferred direction. The nematic state and its... -
High-energy magnetic excitations in FeSe
FeSe (Tc = 9 K) being structurally the simplest iron based superconductor shows some exotic properties. For instance, it only undergoes a tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural... -

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... -
Coupled magnetic and nematic fluctuations in S-doped FeSe
FeSe has a superconducting ordering temperature Tc = 9K. Superconductivity coexists with nematic order which is manifest most clearly by an orthorhombic distortion which sets in... -
