We report a neutron diffraction study of the magnetic phase transitions in the charge-density wave (CDW) TbTe 3 compound. We discover that in the paramagnetic phase there are strong 2D-like magnetic correlations, consistent with the pronounced anisotropy o ...
Neutron diffraction is a technique often used for the non-destructive characterization of residual stresses in engineering materials and components. Measuring stresses within partially hollow objects with complex internal geometry however is challenging du ...
The collective behavior of systems consisting of interacting dipoles is a subject of considerable studies. The anisotropic nature of such interactions opens an arena to explore fundamental questions in correlated electron physics, ranging from quantum enta ...
Acousto-optic imaging is based on light interaction with focused ultrasound in a scattering medium. Thanks to photorefractive holography combined with pulsed ultrasound, we perform a time-resolved detection of ultrasound-modulated photons in the therapeuti ...
In a test of principle a neutron spin filter has been built, which is based on dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) using photo-excited triplet states. This DNP method has advantages over classical concepts as the requirements for cryogenic equipment and mag ...
This thesis is focused on classical and semiclassical approximations of a specific quantum time correlation function, the “quantum fidelity.” Namely, we rigorously study the efficiency of a continuous class of algorithms for the evaluation of its classical ...
We present momentum widths and mean kinetic energies of lithium and fluorine in 7LiF, as determined simultaneously from deep inelastic neutron scattering (DINS) measurements. Experimental data across a temperature range from 4 to 300K are presented, and th ...
We report a long-wavelength helimagnetic superstructure in bulk samples of the ferrimagnetic insulator Cu2OSeO3. The magnetic phase diagram associated with the helimagnetic modulation inferred from small-angle neutron scattering and magnetization measureme ...
We report on the synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic characterisation of the trinuclear, fluoride-bridged, molecular nanomagnet [Dy(hfac)(3)(H2O)-CrF2(py)(4)-Dy(hfac)(3)(NO3)] (1) (hfacH = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetone, py = pyridine) and a clo ...
Small-angle neutron scattering has been employed to study the influence of applied electric (E-) fields on the skyrmion lattice in the chiral lattice magnetoelectric Cu2OSeO3. Using an experimental geometry with the E-field parallel to the [111] axis, and ...
