Spin liquids are magnetic materials with no long range ordering. We would like to explore the magnetic ground state of a Copper based Metal-Organic Framework(MOF) with suspected... -
Neutron scattering and muSR studies of magnetic phenomena in YFe2Al10: case s...
In strongly correlated electron systems, the proximity to magnetic ordering has been of special interest. Magnetism in this class of systems is often suppressed by the Kondo... -
Quantum spin liquids: beyond Herbertsmithite
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... -
MuSR studies of the magnetic properties of hyperexpanded fullerides close to ...
We have been recently successful in isolating the fcc polymorph of the key hyperexpanded fulleride Cs3C60 - this phase can be driven to a bulk suprconducting state without... -
The nature of excitations in a molecular Haldane system
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... -
Quantum spin liquid ground state in the Co-based triangular antiferromagnet N...
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,... -
