We propose longitudinal field muSR on a 2D molecular magnetic system which has been suggested to have an unusual B-T phase diagram. Our goal is to probe the transition from...

Using nitronyl nitroxide radicals it is possible to prepare purely organic ferromagnets without inclusion of any transition metal or lanthanide ions. Muons are uniquely...

Nd2Zr2O7 is a new candidate prominent to quantum spin ice proposed theoretically. It has a well-isolated dipolar-octupolar doublet with Ising anisotropy as the crystal field...

Cs3C60 is driven to a bulk superconductor without symmetry change by the application of pressure. Tc passes through a maximum of 38 K at 6 kbar. We have recently isolated the...

Molecular nanomagnets (MNMs) comprise clusters of exchange coupled transition metal ions which often have a negative anisotropy constant, favoring a ground state with a large...

The binary ruthenium pnictides RuAs and RuP exhibit metal-insulator (MI) transition below 200 K and 270 K, respectively, and show an evidence of pseudogap formation in their...

A magnetic response of the alkali-metal superoxides comes from the p-orbital S = 1/2 spins of anionic O2- molecules. As the O2- molecules are highly reorientable and the...

Recently, a new family of ternary platinum phosphide superconductors have been synthesised with the chemical formula APt3P (A = Sr, Ca, and La, with Tc’s of 8.4, 6.6, and 1.5 K,...

We have conducted a decent amount of work on a 1:1 and 1:2 TCNQ salts where we seek to identify whether the magnetic transition shows a universality. So far measurements on a...

Tb2Ti2O7 is a pyrochlore antiferromagnet that has previously been viewed as a spin liquid. This description fails to describe key features of its physics and more recently the...

We propose to study PdxIrTe2, which evolves from a charge-orbital density wave state to a superconducting state with doping. It has a similar structural motif, doping-dependent...

Compounds with formula R2SrAl2O7 (R=rare earth) look superficially similar to the well-known bilayer manganites, but here the perovskite bilayers contain Al and are nonmagnetic....

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...

Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) is a fundamental interaction in solids that can induce unusual physical properties, from topologically non-trivial insulating states to unconventional...

In all known superconductors, the supercurrent is carried by Cooper pairs which consist of spin-1/2 quasiparticles in either spin-singlet (the usual case) or spin-triplet (the...

Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has often lead to exotic properties in otherwise banal pool of 'paramagnetic' heavy ion oxides. In this context d4 Ir systems are exciting...

In superconductors, the inversion symmetry of the crystallographic structure plays a central role in the formation of the Cooper pairs. The intermetallic compounds La7Pd3 and...
