Tb2Ti2O7 is one of two compounds identified as potential quantum spin ices. As with other oxide pyrochlores the properties depend sensitively on the oxygen content. Most...

The geometric frustration, combined with other parameters like the net quantum spin state (1/2, 1 or 3/2) is expected to give rise the exotic magnetic ground states such as the...

Rare-earth delafossites were recently proposed as promising candidates for the realization of an effective S = 1/2 quantum spin liquid on the triangular lattice [1, 2]. In...

Recently, Eckert and co-authors synthesised osmium based two superconductors, NbOsSi and TaOsSi, and found that these compounds exhibit superconductivity below a transition...

Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) are molecules that display slow relaxation of their magnetisation. We have designed a new class of mononuclear lanthanide SMMs, where the...

We propose to investigate the effects of the electron- phonon interaction on the time reversal symmetry breaking phenomenon of non-cetrosymmetric superconductors. μSR is...

The frustration of triangular antiferromagnets with isotropic interactions leads to a variety of ground states even for classical spins. In regions where several classical...

This proposal is to explore the magnetic properties and molecular dynamics of a new class of magnetic ionic liquid surfactants1 (MILSs) (see Fig. 1). The MILSs investigated here...

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are intriguing states of matter in which quantum fluctuations are sufficiently strong to destroy any long-range magnetic order. To date, one of the...

Recently a handful of non-centrosymmetric Ce-based HF compounds with general formula CeTX3 (T=transition mental and X=Si or Ge) have been reported to exhibit superconductivity...

The Sr3CuPtxxIr1-xO6 system has been considered to be a candidate random quantum spin chain. (RQS). For x=1 adjacent S=1/2 Cu2+ions are antiferromagnetically (AF) coupled to...

Recently the coexistence of superconductivity (SC) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering has been reported in CeNi0.8Bi2 with TSC = 4.2 K and TN =5 K, which crystallises in the...

Pure Ho2Ti2O7 exhibits spin ice beahviour. Studies of doped spin ice, replacing Ho with non-magnetic Y, suggest that the spin ice state is present even when the amount of doping...

LiZn2Mo3O8 is a highly unusual geometrically frustrated material: the magnetic moments are associated not with single ions but with small transition-metal clusters. The spin is...

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...

Geometrically frustrated magnetic systems have been widely studied in the search for novel quantum states of matter. The fcc lattice Ba2YMoO6 has been shown to be a valence bond...

The search for unconventional superconductors has been a cornerstone of research in condensed matter physics for many years. Recently a key research interest has been...

Materials containing triangular structures of magnetic moment are an important pathway to studying unconventional magnetic phenomena that arise from the geometrical frustration....

The kappa structural phase of BEDT-TTF salts incorporating various anions X provides an extremely interesting series of layered-structure strongly-correlated materials, whose...

Quantum phase transitions (QPT's) are phase transitions that are driven by zero-temperature quantum fluctuations, and are accessed by varying a non-thermal control parameter....
