The most successful recipe to date for making a quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a triangular lattice of molecular-dimer radicals tuned to behave as a weak Mott insulator. Two...

A new rare-earth triangular quantum spin liquid (QSL) candidate, YbMgGaO4, has an odd number of electrons per unit cell and spin-orbit entangled effective spin-1/2 (Yb3+)....

In condensed matter physics, a little frustration can make materials interesting. This is because that the presence of competing forces, which cannot be simultaneously...

The Mn6 single molecule magnet shows to date the highest anisotropy barrier for a transition metal cluster. Low lying excited states in the energy level diagram of the molecule...

Our muSR study on Ce(Os1-xFex)2Al10 with x=0.4, which reveals long range magnetic ordering below 24K from the heat capacity, shows unexpected behaviour. The muSR spectra only...

Quantum spin liquid (QSL) states emerge when the arrangement of magnetic moments in a material frustrates magnetic interactions and low spin magnetic moments allow for strong...

Skyrmions are chiral magnetic spin textures that exist in a variety of different magnetic materials. Skyrmions are usually stabilized in noncentrosymmetric chiral materials by...

A triangular lattice occupies a special position in the quantum spin-liquid (QSL) physics. Although the triangular-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet is known to evade a QSL,...

It is well known that an S = 1 antiferromagnetic spin chain is predicted to have a quantum disordered ground state and a gap in its excitation spectrum. This so-called Haldane...

We aim at exploring the ground state of new Cu2+ S=1/2 kagome compounds, isomorphic to the now-celebrated Herbertsmithite, namely CdCu3(OH)6Cl2 and MgCu3(OH)6Cl2. Due to the...

Magnetic coordination polymers have emerged as potential candidates to behave as Quantum Spin Liquids (QSLs). The QSL is a state of matter proposed by Anderson in 1973, where,...

Spin ladders are excellent model systems for studying quantum phase transitions, as they exhibit a quantum critical point between non-magnetic spin singlet dimers to Néel...

The ability to manipulate quantum states of matter is a goal of condensed matter science. Recent progress in molecular magnetism has shown the potential for gaining control over...

The magnetic properties of a Terbium single ion magnetic system will be studied using implanted muons. The system is based on a polyoxometallate ion that provides good isolation...

A series of cyanide-bridged molecular magnets incorporating chiral ligands will be invstigated using muon spin relaxation. The magnets combine Ni(II) with M(III) (M=Fe,Cr,Co)....

Quantum spin liquid (QSL) state is a state that spins are highly entangled and frustrated even at absolute zero temperature, which has attracted lots of attentions due to its...

Quantum spin liquid (QSL) states emerge when the arrangement of magnetic moments in a material frustrates magnetic interactions and low spin magnetic moments allow for strong...

Zn-doped barlowite, ZnxCu4-x(OH)6FBr, is a new experimental realisation of an S = 1/2 kagome antiferromagnet in which the ground state may be tuned from a Néel ordered state to...

CeRhIn5 is an antiferromagnetic itinerant magnet which illustrates a temperature and pressure interplay between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. Recently, it has been...

We propose to carry out a muSR study of the spin dynamics in two single crystal samples of Yb2Ti2O7. Both samples are notionally stoichiometric but they have been prepared using...
