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... -
Possible presence of charge density wave in V3Si superconductor
The superconductivity is a very important quantum phenomenon occurring in many materials. However the microscopic origin of it is still not completely understood and is one of... -
MuSR search for fluctuating loop currents in cuprates
The origin of a mysterious pseudogap region in high-Tc superconductors is a challenging issue. It was proposed that the pseudogap is caused by a circulating-current order... -
Obtaining Quantum Critical Signatures of the Spin Liquid Phases in 1T-TaS2
The system 1T-TaS2 is a charge density wave (CDW) insulator below 180 K that has one residual spin 1/2 for every 13 Ta atoms in the modulated CDW structure. These spins and... -
Laser-induced electron transfer in Trp-Tyr
We wish to perform longitudinal field measurements on the dipeptide Trp-Tyr under laserexcitation, to probe the electron transfer process within the molecule. We have already... -
Investigation of excitonic physics in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules
The MuSES project currently ongoing in the HiFi spectrometer gives unique opportunity in the field of photochemistry and photophysics of organic molecules. After two successful... -
Superconductivity in the half-Heusler alloys RPdBi (R=Lu,Er)
These half-Heusler compounds are also semi-metals, with low carrier densities and non-trivial topological features. The crystal structures are also non-centrosymmetric, which is... -

In view of the interesting magnetic properties observed in CeTSi3 (T=Pt and Pd) and superconductivity in LaPdSi3 (TSC= 2.6 K), as well as the theoretical interest in... -
muSR of a Quantum Spin Liquid based on the Hyperhoneycomb Lattice
The hyperhoneycomb lattice can be viewed as a 3D version of the 2D honeycomb and the new magnetic compound [(C2H5)3NH]2Cu2(C2O4)3 provides a rare example. Honeycomb type... -
Searching for magnetic order in two nitronyl nitroxide isomers
Using nitronyl nitroxide radicals it is possible to prepare purely organic ferromagnets without inclusion of any transition metal or lanthanide ions. Muons are uniquely... -
Electron polarisation in CdS and CdTe
At low temperatures and high magnetic fields, the electron in a muonium or radical state may be polarised if it has an opportunity to reach thermal equilibrium. Such a... -
Superconductivity and static moments in LuxZr1-xB12
Nonmagnetic impurity substitutions impact on superconducting properties in various ways depending on the pair-breaking mechanism. The aim of the proposed experiment is to... -
Probing adduct radicals in graphite
Graphite has been the first material ever studied by µSR, but a comprehensive scheme to understand its behaviour still lacks. In particular it is not properly known if and how... -
Muon-spin-rotation study of the noncentrosymmetric superconductors ThIrSi3, T...
Our recent research of various Th-bearing systems revealed bulk superconductivity in ThIrSi3, ThIr2Si2 and ThCoSi. The critical temperatures determined from the resistivity and... -
