Sr2RuO4 is a 2-D layered perovskite oxide metal which becomes superconducting below 1.5K. There is strong experimental evidence that the superconducting wavefunction is...

Nature abhors disorder and degeneracy at low temperature. Designing materials that confront this requirement can therefore lead to new states in which the degeneracy is lifted....

The debate whether interband or intraband scattering is crucial for Fe-based superconductors is not settled down yet. Investigation a system with completely missing electron...

We propose to investigate the spin dynamics in the frustrated antiferromagnet beta-CaCr2O4. Its structure consist in one dimensional chains of Cr+3 forming the legs of zig-zag...

We propose to investigate the low energy spin and orbital fluctuations in Bi1.7V8O16 which displays a metal to insulator transition. This work will be performed in conjunction...

Single-molecule magnets (SMM) exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation have attracted increasing interest, both from a fundamental point of view, and for the potential practical...

CeNbO4+d (0 <= d <= 0.33) displays mixed ionic-electronic conductivity at ~800 °C, where it adopts the tetragonal scheelite structure. Prior research has shown that...

Entanglement refers to the phenomenon of two quantum mechanical objects correlated with each other at large distances and proposed to affect quantum criticality, the critical...

Silica glass is one of the most widely studies amorphous materials. It is the archetypal glass former, comprising a network of corner-shared SiO4 tetrahedra. Recently a lot of...

Gas hydrates (crystalline inclusion compounds of water and small hydrocarbons) present a very real challenge to the petrochemical industry. In uninhibited systems gas hydrates...

Here we propose to investigate the excitation spectrum of the new spin-ladder compound MgCu2O3. Unlike typical spin-ladders this compound has a rung coupling that is much weaker...

Cooling is at the heart of modern technology, from storing and transporting food and medicine to computing. Yet current refrigeration technologies rely heavily on...

Exchange interactions in insulators can be understood in terms of the Andersen exchange picture in which the Hamiltonian has two contributions: (i) a kinetic term characterized...

NOx emissions from the energy and transport sectors represent a major hazard to human health and this has been the focus of significant industrial and academic research. One of...

Hydrogen chloride exhibits a complex phase diagram account made of its simple molecular structure. Three crystalline phases are known to exist at ambient pressure below its...

One of the major issues in high temperature superconductivity is the nature of the so called pseudogap phase. A related question is whether the pseudogap controls the evolution...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are molecular mixtures similar to ionic liquids, having melting points below room temperature. However instead of being composed of a salt, the...

Fe7 is a magnetic cluster formed by two Fe(III) triangles bridged together by a Fe(III) ion. The antiferromagnetic exchange interaction within the two triangles makes the system...

Barocaloric materials, in which a large isothermal entropy change is associated with a pressure induced phase transition, offer an alternative to vapour-compression technologies...

Mononuclear Ni(II) complexes can be designed to behave as two-level systems and thus play the role of qbits with eventually large coherence time. The objective of this proposal...
