Hello,
My name is Shinichiro Yano who is working as instrument scientist of the cold triple axis spectrometer Sika at ANSTO (https://www.ansto.gov.au/people/dr-shin-ichiro-yano<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.ansto.gov.au/people/dr-shin-ichiro-yano__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!cqjICx0ojC3qzmw7VmVXxut8awd_5EK5L1AnlK-t7l6j-bXUoRcFdse_EIxCn7w5zC5HauWGkvGJfl65aBFv$>).
Collaborating with Professor Catherine StampfI at University of Sydney, I am seeking PhD candidates at University of Sydney who will work on neutron scattering techniques and magnetism. The candidate will stay in ANSTO and work with me, the candidates can take advantage of accessing variety of instruments at ANSTO for their research during the course.

Project Opportunities
Title: Understanding magnetic excitations in a new class of perovskites oxides
Summary of Opportunity:
Neutron scattering can explore excitations of magnetic materials with the energy scale from μeV to eV. Neutron instruments in the large scale national facility ANSTO will be used to investigate the magnetic excitations of new novel perovskite systems. An example is described below.

Research location: School of Physics
Program type: PhD
Synopsis
Unconventional superconductors, multiferroics, and frustrated magnets constitute a class of magnetic materials that play an important role in diverse branches of condensed matter physics. These systems embody the complex interplay of charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom. Understanding fundamental physical laws of these systems can provides a pathway toward the development of next-generation functional materials, such as quantum qubits, multifunctional memory devices, and environmentally sustainable solid-state refrigeration technologies.
The present project, the magnetic excitations in new series of perovskite oxides will be investigated by means of inelastic neutron scattering techniques. By accurately measuring and analyzing the magnetic excitations, new classes of interactions can be uncovered. Using density functional theory, accurate quantum mechanical calculations will also be performed to assist in the interpretation of the measured results. A deeper understanding of these interactions broadens the prospects for controlling physical properties of magnetic material through magnetic field, electric field, and other physical parameters.
Scholarships
Scholarships are available through the competitive process at the University of Sydney.
