We have recently prepared a new strontium ruthenate, SrRu2O6, using hydrothermal chemistry. The material shows magnetic order, probably ferromagnetic, than persists above, and...

Multiferroics - where ferroelectric and magnetic orders co-exist - continue to be of technological and scientific importance, and of particular interest are the improper...

The experimental realization of a S=1/2 kagome lattice has been one of the holy grail of frustrated magnetism because when all antiferromagnetic exchanges cannot be satisfied, a...

Materials with antiferromagnetic interactions between spins on a triangle lattice inherently exhibit large frustration between similar energy ground states giving rise to novel...

The search for new ferroelectric materials, where the ferroelectricity results from magnetic frustration, has been a topic of great interest to the condensed matter physics...

The spin Jahn-Teller effect stabilises 3D magnetic order in an otherwise frustrated system via magnetoelastic coupling, spontaneously at the magnetic phase transition. Examples...

Ferroelectricity induced by magnetic ordering with certain type of magnetic structure has received much attention because it provides opportunity to manipulate magnetization by...

The crystal structure of PrFe2Al8 consists of a network of Al which forms quasi cage-like structure where the Pr and the Fe form chains of atoms along the c-axis. We propose...

Our objective is to determine how changes in symmetry affect the magnetic ground state of spin-1 magnets. Low-dimensional S=1 systems are believed to support rich phase diagrams...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on single crystals, 3R-AgFeO2 and 2H-AgFeO2 on WISH. Recently, we have studied magnetic orderings and ferroelectricity of...

KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling...

Purely ferromagnetic (FM) oxides are uncommon but we recently reported FM behaviour in a mineral induced by quite small magnetic fields. This ability relates to the presence of...

Emerging technologies require increasingly unusual functional materials and so understanding the origins of complex magnetic and electronic behaviour, and how these can be...

Fast segmental dynamics of surfactants in rod-like assemblies and their correlation with microstructure is not very well understood although the structure and macroscopic...

We have synthesized the polycrystalline R2BaCuO5 (R = Dy & Ho) and studied its physical properties. Indeed, both the studied compounds exhibit the polarization below rare...

We request 4 days on HRPD to perform combined specific heat and neutron powder diffraction measurements of C60 and the molecular hydrogen storage materials, ammonia borane and...

Novel functionality in condensed matter physics is one of fastest developing fields, aiming for possible future applications including quantum computing, electronic devices and...

We propose to use WISH to characterise magnetic order of a new quantum (S=1/2) geometrically frustrated material based on the mineral averievite, Cu_5(VO_4)_2O_2CsCl. This...
