We propose to investigate the highly one-dimensional (1D) S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet (NO)[Cu(NO3)3] which is a potential realization of the Nersesyan-Tsvelik model. The...

The relationship between spin fluctuations and superconductivity is of paramount importance in understanding the iron-based superconductors. We have recently investigated the...

The proposed research aims to probe the effects of alkyl chain length on the dynamics of a room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) in bulk and in confinement in nano porous carbon...

Crystals of the filled skutterudite PrFe4Sb12 with the 73~87% Pr-site filling fractions prepared under ambient pressure show some magnetic ordering around 5 K and their...

Quite recently, the high thermoelectric performance has been reported in the MgAgSb-based half Heusler alloys. The ZT values close to 1 at room temperature with a maximum of ZT...

We propose an investigation of the spin-waves in the recently discovered room-temperature skyrmion material Co8Zn8Mn4. The ground state of Co8Zn8Mn4 is a very long wavelength...
