Hydrogen spillover involves dissociation of molecular hydrogen at the surface of metals, particularly transition metals, followed by migration of the hydrogen atoms across the...

The ability to manipulate quantum states of matter is a goal of condensed matter science. Recent progress in molecular magnetism has shown the potential for gaining control over...

LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (Li NMC 811) is a next generation Li ion battery cathode material. We are investigating the magnetic properties of Li NMC 811 to track the changes in local...

The microscopic origin of Boson peak is still controversial. There are two main theories that might explain the broad bump in the reduced density of states g(w)/w^2. The soft...

Ba4Mn3O10 and Sr4Mn3O10 crystallize in an orthorhombic crystal structure consisting of corrugated layers containing Mn3O12 polydedra. The magnetic susceptibility of the...

Supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many processes. In the course of investigation of Pd-based catalysts used for the selective hydrogenation of nitro-arenes...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is used in a wide range of applications from medical and dental implants to treatment of contaminated air and water streams. However many of the...

We use chemistry to arrange unusual crystal structures that set up conflicting interactions between magnetic ions in the material. In these compounds i is not possible for a...

Unveiling quantum effects in materials at low temperatures, such as quantum spin-liquid behavior, have been a central task in condensed matter physics. A two-dimensional kagome...

Frustration in Heisenberg spin systems originates from antiferromagnetic networks of triangles or tetrahedra. Of the possible model systems, the 3-dimensional network of...

The idea behind the proposed experiment is to use muon negatives spectroscopy as a non-invasive and non-destructive probe for quantitative “bulk” analysis to be used in the...

We intend to study a new class of materials known as 3D topological insulators. The electronic states in these materials have a non-trivial topology, different to almost all...

The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin...

Yb2Pt2Pb is a first-in-class system where spin ladders are coupled to quasiparticles, made massive by strong quantum mechanical fluctuations. The classical Yb moments are...

Our objective is to determine the magnetic ground state of two isostructural magnetic materials. Both contain nickel(II) ions in octahedral environments, NiX2N4 (where X = Br or...

Shale or tight oil is trapped in nano-porous rocks and is expected to play a key role in the energy supply in the future. Due to confinement, trapped fluids exhibit changes in...

The Ce-based materials CeTX3 (T=transition metal, X= Si, Ge, Al) crystallizing in the noncentrosymmetric BaNiSn3-type structure, have been found to display a wealth of novel...

NaCr2O4 is a Q1D TMO that offers a rich range of properties from the view point of fundamental science as well as from the view point of applied science. Indeed on one hand...

Chiral magnets with topologically protected states, such as magnetic Skyrmions in Cu2OSeO3, have been the center of attention of the scientific community in recent times due to...

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...
