Spin dynamics in the extended Kagome system YBaCo4O(7+x)
A recently discovered new class of geometrically frustrated magnets is the family of cobalt oxides RBaCo4O7 (R=rare earth or Y). The structure is built up CoO4 tetrahedra which... -
Magnetic excitations in the new superconductor A2Cr3As3 (A=K, Cs and Rb)
The recently discovered quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) superconductor A2Cr3As3 (A=K, Rb, and Cs with TC ≈ 6.1 K, 4.8 K, and 2.2 K, respectively) has intrigued intensive... -
Field-induced transition in a brownmillerite
The objective of this proposal is to solve the field-induced magnetic structure of a newly synthesized brownmillerite. Under normal conditions there are three different magnetic... -
Tuning confinement potential of spinons in an Ising chain using magnetic fields
The Ising chain realises the fundamental paradigm of spin fractionalization, where locally flipping a spin creates two kinks (spinons) that can separate away at no energy cost,... -
Magnetic field diffraction study of Gd2Ti2O7
We propose a study of the magnetic structure of isotopically enriched Gd2Ti2O7. We have successfully grown and characterised large single crystals using low-absorption 160Gd. In... -
Resonant Spin Excitation in Single Crystal of Ba0.8K0.2Fe2As2
We recently observed a resonant spin excitation in Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2, one of the newly discovered iron arsenide superconductors with Tc=38K, on MERLIN. This demonstrates that the... -
Structural and magnetic neutron diffraction study of a novel frustrated syste...
Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground... -
Quantum Criticality in YFe2Al10
Quantum phase transitions, where correlation length and time scales diverge, are of broad interest to the condensed matter physics community. The new layered material YFe2Al10... -
In-situ hydrogen decomposition studies of ammonia borane and the diammoniate ...
Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. We have extensively studied the low temperature behaviour of this material This proposal asks for 3... -
What is the cause for the gapped mode in the `BEC' phase of DTN?
Arguably the most-famous quantum phase transition is the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnons. It can be studied experimentally in gapped quantum paramagnets when an... -
Radiation induced hydrogen abstraction - A combined X-ray and neutron diffrac...
X-ray induced radiation damage drastically limits the structural information accessible in diffraction experiments from macromolecules at 3rd generation synchrotrons. Relatively... -
High-Energy Solitary Magnons in CaFe2O4:
We have recently discovered solitary magnons in the classical magnet CaFe2O4 below 3 meV. in this experiment we propose to extend this to higher energy transfers to track how...
