Dilution of the Near-Kagome Compound Vesignieite
Vesignieite, Cu3VBa2O8(OH)2, is one of very few materials approximating a kagome spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet, a model that is the ideal setting for novel quantum spin... -
Kagome quantum spin liquids - The case of Vesignieite
We aim to explore the groundstate of a new near-perfect S=1/2 kagome antiferromagnetic (KAFM) system using MuSR at the lowest possible temperatures. The title compound is... -
Completing the phase diagram of a 2D molecular antiferromagnet
Low-dimensional quantum magnetism continues to be of great theoretical and experimental interest as reduced dimensionality supports strong quantum fluctuations which can result... -
Superconductivity and magnetism in Cu2+-based coordination polymer [Cu3C6S6]n
Cu-BHT exhibits perfect kagome lattice of Cu2+ and previous combined magnetization and specific heat results suggested the presence of strong spin fluctuations. If there are... -
Spin-Luttinger Liquid phase in a model strong-rung quantum spin ladder
Spin ladders represent a class of low-dimensional quantum magnets that occupy a regime of subtle behaviour which lies between the stark extremes of the one-dimensional chain or... -
Broken Time Reversal Symmetry in Superconducting (Pr, Ce)Pt4Ge12 alloys
The unconventional filled skutterudite superconductor, PrPt4Ge12(Tc ~ 7.9 K), was recently discovered, for which zero field muon spin relaxation (ZF-MuSR) experiments reveal... -
MuSR study on spin liquid candidate NaYbSe2 with triangular lattice
The quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a long-standing attractive topic in condensed matter physics due to its tight relation to exotic properties such as high temperature... -
An investigation of the superconducting ground state in the non-centrosymmetr...
In this proposal we propose to investigate the superconducting ground state of the non-centrosymmetric superconductor Ru7B3. Controversy exists over the nature of the... -
Exploring magnetic correlations in a new S=1/2 kagome antiferromagnet
The combination of strong magnetic frustration and low spin found in the S=1/2 quantum antiferromagnet is believed to lead to non-classical magnetic behaviour, and in particular... -
Low Temperature Study of the Cluster Glass Phase in Ni(TCNQ)2
Recently there has been an M(TCNQ)2, where M=Mn, Co, Fe and Ni, series synthesised where all samples formed a stochiometric glassy ferromagnetic salt. We have focused on the... -
Completing the phase diagram of a 2D molecular antiferromagnet
We propose to complete an investigation of the phase diagram of a series of molecular 2D quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets (2DQHAFs) with random exchange strengths. This is a... -
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 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...
