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...

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....

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

Quantum spin liquid (QSL) is an ordered spin state which has been destroyed by quantum fluctuations at low temperatures. Low energy excitations of spin liquids are charge...

We intend to perform the magnetic field penetration depth \lambda measurements on theoxygen reduced and Nb-doped SrTiO_3 -- the first oxide superconductors where two-gap...

In superconductors, the inversion symmetry of the crystallographic structure plays a central role in the formation of the Cooper pairs. When inversion symmetry is broken, there...

k-ET_2Cu_2(CN)_3 provides an excellent experimental system for studying the 2D S=1/2 frustrated triangular lattice Heisenberg model. A spin-liquid state persists in this system...

One goal of our research into the nanoengineering of molecular magnets is a detailed understanding of the relationship between the structure and composition of a system and its...

Our recent µSR measurements on a polycrystalline sample of Ru7B3 has shown that this material is an excellent example of broken time reversal symmetry on entering the...

Today, about seventy years after Laves, there exists a fairly good knowledge about the basic structural principles of Laves phases but many questions still remain. AMn-type...

Spins on the kagome lattice are one of the most widely investigated topics in frustrated magnetism. This two-dimensional corner sharing triangular lattice offers a...

Pyrochlore magnets of formula R2Ti2O7 or R2Sn2O7 constitute the paradigm for geometrical frustration on a 3D lattice. Spinel compounds CdR2X4, where the R sublattice forms a...

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...

Spinels, which have formula AB2X4 and crystallise in the cubic space group, exhibit a rich landscape of structural, magnetic and electronic properties. However, superconducting...

With the observations of spin ice behaviour in Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 the rare earth pyrochlores R2B2O7 have evolved as a hot topic of current research activities. In our effort...

Low dimensional magnetism provides a crucial playground for the discovery and exploitation of unconventional magnetic properties. With in this context the study of 1D magnetic...

The development of spontaneous fields in the superconducting state in non-centrosymmetric superconductors is shown by a number but not all such superconductors. Our recent...

Using nitronyl nitroxide radicals it is possible to prepare purely organic ferromagnets without inclusion of any transition metal or lanthanide ions. Muons are uniquely...

We will examine the impact of metal-halide hydrogen bond motifs and their ability to provide low-dimensional superexchange pathways. Specifically, we wish to investigate two new...
