Non-centrosymmetric superconductors (NCS) are believed to be good candidates for unconventional superconductivity. In particular, there is the possibility of Cooper pairs with...

Recent investigations of physical properties of ACo2As2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) indicate that Co-based arsenides could be a potential parent compound like the parent AFe2As2. While...

The discovery of superconductivity at up to 55 K in a series of iron arsenide and selenide materials has ignited huge interest. These compounds show unique features that are...

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...

After the discovery of multiband superconductivity in MgB2 (Tc = 39.7 K) a number of studies have been made to understand the origin of superconductivity in this compound as...

The discovery of superconductivity in ThCr2Si2 type tetragonal Fe-based compounds (i.e. YFe2Ge2) have generated considerable interest. Recently we found bulk superconductivity...

Metallic systems with one-dimensional chain-like atomic structure can support unusual mechanisms for electron pairing leading to superconductivity. K_2Cr_3As_3 is one of a...

This proposal plans to investigate the destruction of superconductivity by inter-band scattering in Lu_2Fe_3Si_5 doped by Y and Dy. Recent muon spin rotation studies have shown...

In some materials, the onset of superconductivity is accompanied by the spontaneous appearance of small magnetic fields. This is a signature of broken time-reversal-symmetry...

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...

In this proposal we suggest an investigation of the time reversal symmetry breaking in the superconducting compounds YRuB2 and LuRuB2 with orthorhombic structure (space group...

PrOs4Sb12 is a 1.85 K superconductor. Its superconductivity shows unconventional behavior, and the originating mechanism remains unknown. One characteristic is an internal...

Iridium-containing oxide magnets are interesting because the different interactions controlling their magnetic properties have similar energies associated with them. This leads...

The spin ice compounds Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 have come to enormous attention in the past year with the observation of excitations resembling magnetic monopoles. Here we propose...

Ternary compounds R5T4X10 crystallizing in primitive tetragonal structure (space group P4/mbm) present interesting physical properties. Of particular interests are the...

PdTe2 was found to be superconducting below Tc = 1.7 K and a Type-II Dirac semimetal. A protected bulk Dirac point arises from a band inversion that occurs within the Te...

PrOs4Sb12 is a 1.85 K superconductor. Its superconductivity shows unconventional behavior, and the originating mechanism remains unknown. One characteristic is an internal...

We propose to carry out a muSR study of the spin dynamics in two single crystal samples of Yb2Ti2O7. Both samples are notionally stoichiometric but they have been prepared using...

Molecular solids whose cooperative electronic properties are based purely on pi-electrons from carbon atoms offer a fertile ground in the search for exotic states of matter,...

Investigation of correlated behaviour in Ce based intermetallics has continued to fascinate researchers. These compounds exhibit novel ground states depending on the strength of...
