Unveiling competing magnetic interactions in Nd5Ge3: Muon spin relaxation
The physics across the phase transitions in solids has been of topical interest in the condensed matter physics. For example, liquid and vapor coexist along the vapor pressure... -
In-Situ Studies of Alternative Mobile-Ions for High-Temperature Thermal Batte...
Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,... -
Short-range magnetic correlations in Er(Ni,Cu)Al
The intermetallic alloys RNiAl and RCuAl have been of high interest for several years. They crystallize in the hexagonal structure (ZrNiAl-type) and form various and complicated... -
Local Field fluctuations and Mu Dynamics in Vanadium Dioxide Compounds
This is an in depth study of magnetic fluctuations and local field dynamics leading into the low temperature magnetic phase of Vanadium Oxide compounds (VO2, VO2:W and VO2:Ti)... -
Quantum spin ice physics in Pr-based pyrochlores
In order to explore quantum spin ice physics, we wish to focus on the non-Kramers Pr-based pyrochlores with general formula Pr2M2O7 (M =Sn, Zr, Hf). There is a recent... -
Polymorphism across the Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-NaNbO3 solid solution
Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) based materials can present high level of oxide-ion conduction and therefore they are promising electrolytes for IT-SOFCs. The conductivity of highly... -
Determining the spin gap in TiPO4
We propose to determine the spin gap in TiPO4, to do this we will carry out a zero-field temperature scan from 5 to 150 K and anticipate focusing our measurements on the region...
