We present AC and DC magnetometry, heat capacity, muon spin relaxation ($\mu$SR) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) studies of the pyrochlore osmate Y$_2$Os$_2$O$_7$. We observe a non-zero effective moment governed by…
We report on the magnetic structures of Tb3RuO7 and Nd3RuO7 determined from powder neutron-diffraction experiments. In Tb3RuO7, alternating-bond spin-3/2 Ru1-Ru2 chains are formed. The Ru1 and Ru2 moments are ordered and disordered…
The spin-orbit coupled double perovskite iridate Ba$_2$YIrO$_6$ with $d^4$ occupancy of Ir is considered as a candidate material for a non-magnetic $J=0$ ground state. The issue of existence of such a state in Ba$_2$YIrO$_6$ however has…
We present an experimental study of the pyrochlore coumpound Nd2Zr2O7 by means of neutron scattering and magnetization measurements down to 90 mK. The Nd$^{3+}$ magnetic moments exhibit a strong local $\langle$111$\rangle$ Ising anisotropy…
We present elastic and inelastic neutron scattering results on highly oxygen ordered YBa2Cu3O6.5 ortho-II. We find no evidence for the presence of ordered magnetic moments to a sensitivity of 0.003 Bohr magnetons, an order of magnitude…
Magnetic pyrochlores with non-Kramers rare-earth ions provide a platform for exploring emergent gauge physics and quantum spin-ice behavior, yet the influence of structural disorder on their ground states remains insufficiently understood.…
We investigate displacive short-range order in pyrochlore Y2Nb2O7, which exhibits a nonmagnetic insulating state despite the presence of formally tetravalent Nb4+ (S = 1/2) ions on the pyrochlore network. Synchrotron x-ray diffraction on a…
Pyrochlore materials are characterized by their hallmark network of corner-sharing rare-earth tetrahedra, which can produce a wide array of complex magnetic ground states. Ferromagnetic Ising pyrochlores often obey the "two-in-two-out" spin…
We report synchrotron radiation diffraction and muon spin rotation (muSR) measurements on the frustrated pyrochlore magnet Tb2Ti2O7. The powder diffraction study of a crushed crystal fragment does not reveal any structural change down to 4…
We investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of the pyrochlore oxide Cd$_2$Os$_2$O$_7$ using the density-functional theory plus on-site repulsion ($U$) method, and depict the ground-state phase diagram with respect to $U$. We…
We present here magnetization, specific heat and Raman studies on single-crystalline specimens of the first pyrochlore member $Sm_2Ti_2O_7$ of the rare-earth titanate series. Its analogous compound $Sm_2Zr_2O_7$ in the rare-earth zirconate…
Solid-solutions of the "soft" quantum spin ice pyrochlore magnets Tb2B2O7 with B=Ti and Sn display a novel magnetic ground state in the presence of strong B-site disorder, characterized by a low susceptibility and strong spin fluctuations…
We report the low temperature magnetic properties of Ce$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$, a rare-earth pyrochlore. Our susceptibility and magnetization measurements show that due to the thermal isolation of a Kramers doublet ground state, Ce$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$…
Neutron diffraction studies have been carried out in the applied magnetic field H(//[011]) on a single crystal of pyrochlore ferromagnet Nd2Mo2O7, whose Hall resistivity(r_H) has been reported to have quite unusual magnetic field (H)- and…
There are reasons to believe that the ground state of the magnetic rare earth pyrochlore Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ is on the boundary between competing ground states. We have carried out $\mathrm{\textit{ab initio}}$ density functional calculations…
By means of neutron scattering techniques we have investigated the frustrated pyrochlore magnet Ho_2Sn_2O_7, which was found to show a ferromagnetic spin-ice behavior below T \simeq 1.4 K by susceptibility measurements. High-resolution…
We report neutron scattering and muon spin relaxation measurements (muSR) on the pyrochlore antiferromagnet Yb2Ge2O7. Inelastic neutron scattering was used to probe the transitions between crystal electric field levels, allowing us to…
The disordered pyrochlore oxide Dy$_{2}$Zr$_{2}$O$_{7}$ shows the signatures of field-induced spin freezing with remnant zero-point spin-ice entropy at 5 kOe magnetic field. We have performed zero-field and longitudinal field Muon spin…
Pyrochlores offer an ideal playground to investigate the magnetic ground state of frustrated magnetic systems. In this class of materials, competition between various magnetic interactions remains frustrated and prevents an ordered magnetic…
We report the crystal growth, crystal structure and basic magnetic properties of a new cobalt-based pyrochlore, NaSrCo$_2$F$_7$. Na and Sr are completely disordered on the non-magnetic large atom A sites, while magnetic S=3/2 Co$^{2+}$…
