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....

Superconductivity in systems which lack inversion symmetry is expected to give rise to a host of unconventional effects, including mixed parity ground-states, and the formation...

This half-Heusler compound is also a semi-metal, with a low carrier density and non-trivial topological features. The crystal structure is also non-centrosymmetric, which is...

CeRhIn5 is an antiferromagnetic itinerant magnet which illustrates a temperature and pressure interplay between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. Recently, it has been...

Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials. As we have recently demonstrated...

Pyrochlore magnets are one of the cornerstones of frustrated magnetism, with two interpenetrating lattices of corner-sharing tetrahedra on which magnetic ions can be placed. By...

We propose longitudinal field muSR on a 2D molecular magnetic system which has been suggested to have an unusual B-T phase diagram. Our goal is to probe the transition from...

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...

The new molecular magnet bis(2,3-dimethylpyridinium) tetrabromocuprate (DIMPY) is a strong-leg spin ladder with a quantum critical point at 3 T separating a low-field...

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...

Understanding the normal phase behaviour of the iron based superconductors is very important in order to shed new light on the physics of these complex materials. Mn impurities...

Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects existing in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials. Using LF muSR we see an enhanced relaxation and strong...

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

Gaining control of the building blocks of magnetic materials will enable the design and growth of bespoke magnetic devices. However, the ability to tune the magnetic...

Using the Emu spectrometer at ISIS we have recently studied charge carrier transport in the technologically important molecule 8-hydroxy-quinoline aluminium, by probing the...

From our current results of (Nd1-xCax)2Ir2O7, the internal field at 1.5 K increases with increasing the hole doping, the relaxation rate at 50 K increases with increasing the...

Er2Ti2O7 constitutes an experimental realization of the <111> easy-plane pyrochlore AFM and orders at 1.1 K into the theoretically predicted spin structure. However, the...

In the 5d layered perovskite material, Sr2IrO4, spin orbit coupling and strong electron correlations combine to give rise to a spin-orbit coupled Mott insulator, with a...

The polar magnetic semiconductors GaV4S8 and GaV4Se8 have recently attracted attention as one of only two families of bulk materials hosting Néel-type skyrmions: nano-sized...

We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30...
