Hard-Axis Ordering in Ferromagnetic CeAgSb2
We propose to study the low-energy spin fluctuations in ferromagnetic metal CeAgSb2. The ordered moment is oriented away from the direction favored by the lattice. Recent... -
Recrystallisation of LiCl-doped ice under pressure
In recent high pressure experiments (S. Klotz et al., Nature Materials, DOI 10.1038/ NMAT2422, 23.4.2009) we discovered a salt hydrate based on a high-pressure ice form, i.e.... -
Evolution of long-range magnetic order in [Ni(HF2)(pyrazine)2]X (X = PF6 , Sb...
Antiferromagnetic S = 1 one-dimensional chains exhibit a myriad of magnetic ground states depending on the balance between the spin exchange parameter and the single-ion... -
Spin excitations in the single layer half doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4 abov...
The ground state of the single layer half-doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4 has the canonical CE antiferromagnetic charge- and orbitally-ordered (CO-OO) structure characteristic of... -
Nematic spin fluctuations in tetragonal La2-xSrxCuO4
Uniaxial stress has been used to study the Fe-based superconductors with spectacular results. Both the transport properties and the low-energy magnetic excitations have been... -
In-situ under electric field neutron diffraction at variable (low) temperatur...
Neutron diffraction experiments will be carried out on multiferroic ceramics. What is special about the measurements, is that they will be carried out under an applied electric... -
Local structure and proton sites in proton conducting brownmillerites
This proposal requests 3 days on Maps to investigate the nature of local structure and proton sites in the proton conducting brownmillerite system Ba2In1.85M0.15O6H2 (M = In,... -
High precision measurements of the spin wave dispersion in Yttrium Iron Garnet
Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) is a material with extremely wide ranging applications, having the narrowest ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of any known material. Despite decades... -
Single Crystal Scattering Study of 163-Dy2Ti2O7 Using SXD
Spin ice materials are a class of compounds with exotic magnetic properties, resulting from the frustration. Magnetic monopoles have been detected at low temperature; manifest... -
IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key...
