Effect of doping and disorder on the skyrmion phase dynamics in Zn-doped Cu2O...
Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials. As we have recently demonstrated... -
Studying Electron Freezing and The Emergence of Static Magentic Order in Nb a...
One of the technological goals is to create materials that show high permittivity and low dielectric loss, which has been achieved by the co-doping of Nb and In into rutile... -
Anti-ferromagnetic ordering in the super-oxygenated (La,Sr)2CuO4+y supercondu...
We have obtained a LSCOO x = 0.06 single crystal where neutron diffraction shows field induced anti-ferromagnetic order with an onset field in the range 0-1T and increasing... -
In-situ study of mechanism for magnetovolume effect in Cr-Fe alloys
Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials, the volume of a material abnormally contract with the increase of temperature, is closed related to the magnetovolume effect (MVE) in... -
Dynamics of the quasi-two dimensional XXZ honeycomb antiferromagnet BaNi2V2O8
We propose to perform zero-field muon spin rotation studies of S=1 honeycomb antiferromagnet BaNi2V2O8 which is an ideal physical realization of the quasi-2D magnetic system.... -
Probing superconductivity, static magnetism and light ion diffusion in molecu...
In 2012 we demonstrated that molecular spacer layers could be intercalated in between FeSe layers resulting in a dramatic enhancement of the critical temperature: FeSe is itself... -
A survey of skyrmions
Skyrmions are topological excitations that exist in a variety of magnetic insulators. Here we propose to complete our previous experiment (RB1320198) with the aim of producing a... -
Tuning the skyrmion lattice phase by Mn doping in the Co-Zn-Mn series
Magnetic skyrmions are vortex-like objects characterised by an integer topological winding number. They have been observed in the spin structures of several magnetic materials... -
Skyrmions in applied electric fields
One of the most studied skyrmion-hosting materials is the magnetoelectric insulator Cu2OSeO3 which raises the exciting prospect of manipulating the skyrmion-phase through the...
