Recently we have investigated the superconducting state of the caged type compound R5Rh6Sn18 (R = Lu and Y) by using magnetization, heat capacity, and muon-spin relaxation or...

Frustration in magnets could stabilize both order and disorder. Exploring frustrated magnetism is of great importance to understanding the quantum many-body physics and...

-The quasi-kagome Kondo lattice CeRhSn exhibits quantum criticality induced by geometrical frustration. Divergent Grüneisen ratios provide evidence for a zero-field QCP. The...

Recently, Eckert and co-authors synthesised osmium based two superconductors, NbOsSi and TaOsSi, and found that these compounds exhibit superconductivity below a transition...

In this proposal we propose to continue our investigation into the LaNiC2 non-centrosymmetric superconductors. Previously, we have shown that in this system time reversal...

RE2Fe3Si5 are unusual superconducting systems, with coexistence of magnetism on the RE site with superconductivity ( the Fe does not support a magnetic moment). Of particular...

We plan to study by means of zero and longitudinal field muSR the static and dynamic magnetic properties of SrZnVO(PO4)2, a prototype of the S=1/2 J1-J2 model on a square...

In conventional superconductors inversion symmetry plays an important role in Cooper pair formation. The discovery of superconductors lacking inversion symmetry...

The role and interplay of the different charge degrees of freedom remain a central issue in many unconventional superconductors. PdxTaSe2 series is an ideal system to study such...

Our recent research of various Th-bearing systems revealed bulk superconductivity in ThIrSi3, ThIr2Si2 and ThCoSi. The critical temperatures determined from the resistivity and...

Superconductivity with Tc=33 K has been reported in alkali-doped polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The compositions and structures are unknown owing to the multiphase nature and...

There has been a great deal of interest in non-centrosymmetric superconductivity, mainly induced by the discovery of CePt3Si. The presence or lack of inversion has important...

Spins arranged on the kagome lattice are one of the most widely investigated topics in frustrated magnetism. In this context, the three-dimensional analogue of these systems,...

Most of Nd-pyrochlores show all-in-all-out long-ranged order ground state at low temperatures. Nd2Zr2O7 reveals magnetic fragmentation in the spin ice state, and its...

The unconventional filled skutterudite superconductor, PrPt4Ge12 (Tc~7.9K), was recently discovered, for wihch zero field muon spin relaxation (ZF-MuSR) experiments reveal that...

Recently we have investigated the cubic compound PrRhSn3 using the dc and ac susceptibilities and the heat capacity. We found an evidence for the cluster-glass behavior with a...

We will examine the magnetic and superconducting properties of these two novel superconducting systems using muon spin rotation and relaxation experiments. Stoichiometric LiFeAs...

Molecular ferromagnets offer great potential as they are synthesized at low temperatures and offer the possibility functionalization. Ni(TCNQ)2 is such a molecular ferromagnet,...

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...

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....
