LaFeAs1-xPxO has recently been proposed to display unusual properties as a function of P doping with two distinct superconducting (SC) domes separated by a possible AFM phase as... -
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... -
QLCR Spectroscopy of Solid Nitrogen
Quadrupolar level crossing resonance (QLCR) occurs in the muSR of solids with diamagnetic muon states in close proximity to quadrupolar nuclei. This effect provides uniquely... -
Controlling superconductivity in layered lithium iron selenide hydroxides
Lithiation can be used to control the superconductivity in layered lithium iron selenide hydroxides, transferring iron from one layer (the lithium hydroxide layer) to the active... -
