The group carries out research into novel electronic ground states and associated physical phenomena in quantum materials, especially magnetic oxides, topological semimetals, and superconductors. Neutron and synchrotron X-ray scattering experiments are performed at national and international condensed matter facilities in the UK and overseas in order to probe atomic-scale structural and magnetic correlations. Underpinning the experimental programme is the growth of single crystals by a variety of methods, including the floating-zone technique in image furnaces, flux growth, and chemical vapour transport.
