Magnetic Ordering in the Heavy Fermion CePtZn
In rare-earth containing metals, there is a strong competition between the tendency of these systems to magnetically order or form a superconducting state, mirroring in many... -
Exotic spin excitations in a quasi one-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg magnet
Very recently, string states have been identified for the first time in antiferromagnetic Heisenberg-Ising chain SrCo2V2O8 in longitudinal magnetic fields using high-resolution... -
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... -
Is Ba2PrMoO6 a valence bond glass? A MuSR spectroscopic study
It has recently been proposed that Ba2YMoO6 is the first example of an exotic valence bond glass (VBG), which is characterized by an amorphous arrangement of spin dimers and... -
The search for magnetic monopoles in spin ice.
In recent work Moessner and colleagues have demonstrated that thermally induced defects in spin ice behave as emergent magnetic monopoles. Within the material there exist... -
Spin waves in ferromagnetic YbNiSn
YbNiSn is a Yb analogue of ferromagnetic superconductors URhGe and UCoGe. All materials share the same crystal structure, have similar Curie temperatures and a similar... -
A MuSR study of the non-centrosymmetric superconductor LaPtSi3
Non-centrosymmetric superconductors (NCS) are believed to be good candidates for unconventional superconductivity. In particular, there is the possibility of Cooper pairs with...
