Single Crystal Study of Unconventional Superconductivity in Ru7B3
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... -
Novel ground states and spin ordering in iridate pyrochlores
We request four days of beam time to conduct zero and longitudinal field measurements on iridate pyrochlores A2Ir2O7 (A = Y, Lu, Nd) in the temperature range 200 K to 2 K and in... -
Time reversal symmetry breaking in superconducting PrOs4Sb12 and its alloys
In 2005 we carried out muon spin relaxation (muSR) experiments in Pr(Os1-xRux)4Sb12 alloys at KEK, Tsukuba, Japan, to investigate the time-reversal symmetry breaking found in... -
Investigation of the spin dynamics of Shastry-Sutherland phase in Ce2-xPd2+yI...
The Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL) can be described as a 2D square lattice built up from a network of dimers disposed orthogonally and has been observed in SrCu2(BO2)3.... -
Dilution-induced spin glass in Na2IrO3: a MuSR study
We plan to investigate Na2IrO3 samples with a partial substitution of Na by means of a transition metal element (the cases of TM = Co, Ni, Cu and Zn will be considered). The... -
Spin dynamics in the S=1/2 zigzag spin chain magnets K2CuCl2SO4 and Na2CuCl2SO4
We have recently succeeded to synthesize pure-phase of K2CuCl2SO4 and Na2CuCl2SO4. In addition, we succeeded to grow the large single crystals (~ 10×10×10 mm3). K2CuCl2SO4 is a... -
The role of spin-orbit coupling for the superconducting state in TrIrSi (Tr =...
Spinorbit coupling (SOC) is a fundamental interaction in solids that can induce unusual physical properties, from topologically non-trivial insulating states to unconventional... -
A uSR Study of Non-Centrosymmetric Superconductor Re6 Hf
In conventional superconductors gauge symmetry is broken, while in unconventional superconductors other symmetries may also be broken. There has recently been a great deal of...
