Ionization of Neutral Shallow Donor Muonium in beta-Ga2O3
We propose RF-MuSR experiments focused on confirming the two shallow Mu donor states tentatively observed in single crystalline beta-Ga2O3 samples. This material is a candidate... -
Control of the electronic state in new pnictide superconductors using doping
The properties of pnictide superconductors can be controlled exquisitely by chemical doping. We have identified some key systems in which to explore this effect which should... -
Investigating the superconducting and magnetic properties of new-structure-ty...
CaAFe4As4 (A = K, Rb, Cs) and SrAFe4As4 (A = Rb, Cs) are the brand new Fe-based superconductors, only reported in 2016 and is abbreviated as 1144 compounds. Tc values of these... -
Spin dynamics of Ce in the Noncentrosymmetric Heavy-Fermion Superconductors C...
In centrosymmetric heavy-fermion (HF) superconductors Cooper pairs have either singlet or triplet symmetry. Recently a handful of non-centrosymmetric Ce-based HF compounds have... -
Superconducting intercalates of FeSe tuned in situ with ammonia
We propose to study two phases of Na-NH3 intercalated FeSe which have distinct values of Tc, both close to 40 K, but different concentrations of NH3 and quite distinct crystal... -
Spin Dynamics in the Quantum Critical and Ferromagnetic Regimes of URu2-xRe
Recently, there has been a significant amount of interest in quantum phase transitions and non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior exhibited by heavy-fermion compounds. Interestingly... -
Dynamics of the quasi-two dimensional XXZ honeycomb antiferromagnet BaNi2V2O8
We propose to perform zero-field muon spin rotation studies of S=1 honeycomb antiferromagnet BaNi2V2O8 which is an ideal physical realization of the quasi-2D magnetic system.... -
Probing superconductivity, static magnetism and light ion diffusion in molecu...
In 2012 we demonstrated that molecular spacer layers could be intercalated in between FeSe layers resulting in a dramatic enhancement of the critical temperature: FeSe is itself... -
Muon spin rotation study on PrTSi3 (T = Ir, Rh and Ru)
Recently we have investigated three new ternary intermetallic compounds PrTSi3 (T = Ir, Rh and Ru) which form in BaNiSn3-type tetragonal structure. The susceptibility exhibits... -
Probing the magnetic ground state in one dimensional magnetic systems Ba3CrS5...
Most of the one dimensional spin chain compounds are antiferromagnetic with a rich magnetic phase diagram due to the magnetic frustration. We have synthesized Ba3CrS5 and... -
Local magnetism and magnetoeletric effect in TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 studied by muon SR
TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 is an interesting multiferroic material, as the partial substitution of the Jahn-Teller active Mn3+ cation by the non-Jahn-Teller active Fe3+ has remarkable... -
Muon Spin Relaxation study on Quantum Spin Liquid candidates Tm3Sb3M2O14 (M =...
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... -
Iron-based superconductors with molecular spacer layers: probing Li diffusion...
All known iron-based superconductors comprise layers of FeAs or FeSe with some combination of group I, group II or lanthanide oxide layers, and usually some doping. To make... -
Superconducting ammonia-rich metal/ammonia intercalates of FeSe
The discovery of superconductivity at up to 55 K in a series of iron arsenide and selenide materials has ignited huge interest. These compounds show unique features that are...
