We propose to study the magnetic properties of several different classes of materia s all of which are currently the subject of intense interest. These materials include the spin Peierls system CuGe03 heavy fermion compounds and frustrated magnetic systems such as Gadolinium Gallium Garnet. Single crystals samples will be prepared using a number of different techniques including an infra red image furnace. A programme of measurments will be carried out in order to characterise the samples and to investigate the physics of these materials. Techniques to be employed include the measurement of resistivity, susceptibility, thermopower, specific heat and magnetisation at various temperatures between 300mK and 300K and in magnetic fields of up to 12T. Neutron scattering studies of the most interesting materials will be carried out at centres around the world. This work will involve a collaboration with the neutron scattering group at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA.
