Is there a CMC for surfactants in non-aqueous solvents?
The aim of this project is to use SANS to determine if a critical micelle concentration (CMC) exists for the formation of inverse micelles in non-polar solvents. The CMC is a... -
Is there electronic nematic order in Fe pnictides?
The concept of an electronic nematic, in which the electronic wavefunctions have different symmetry to the crystal structure, has been proposed to explain several unusual... -
Uniaxial pressure induced spin-density wave order in CeAuSb2
We propose to apply uniaxial strain to induce a spin-density wave (SDW) modulation in CeAuSb2. Neutron diffraction measurements show this system has a tendency to order along... -
Quantum magnetism in lanthanide gallium garnet magnetocaloric materials
Geometrically frustrated lanthanide gallium garnets find practical applications as low temperature magnetocalorics, but the competing interactions in these materials may give...
