Anomalous lattice dynamics of the elemental superconductor niobium
Phonon lifetimes in BCS superconductors provide information on the details of the electron-phonon coupling mechanism. In 2008 high-resolution neutron inelastic scattering... -
Excitation Spectrum of the Topological Spin Order in SrFeO3
Spin dynamics in multi-q noncoplanar ordered structures (e.g. skyrmion lattices) is an active topic of research. The cubic perovskite SrFeO3 has a variety of multiple-q magnetic... -
Magnetic excitations in a candidate magnetic XY analogue of graphene
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the experimental manifestation of topological properties of magnetic excitations. The honeycomb ferromagnet is... -
Magnetic excitations in single crystal BaFe2Se3
In this proposal, we propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the complex material BaFe2Se3. This material presents low dimensional magnetisme below 250K, combined with... -
Using neutron crystallography for investigating protonation states of a catal...
Chlorite dismutases (Clds) are metalloproteins containing heme b (i.e. Fe(III) in a porphyrin system) as redox cofactor. Clds are able to degrade toxic chlorite to chloride and... -
Magnetic excitations in a rare earth Kitaev material
Among the intense research on quantum spin liquid states, the Kitaev model has attracted great attention. Compounds consist of honeycomb layers with strong spin-orbit coupling,... -
