Compounds with formula R2SrAl2O7 (R=rare earth) look superficially similar to the well-known bilayer manganites, but here the perovskite bilayers contain Al and are nonmagnetic....

We have developed a method to measure carrier recombination lifetime in crystalline silicon with the photo-muSR technique. The key of the method is to measure the dependence of...

The [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes are some of the best catalysts know for generating hydrogen. We have an ongoing programme to understand how their chemistry works, and to...

There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters...

Molecular solids like sodium superoxide NaO2 exhibit intricate magnetic behavior despite their simple chemical structure. This is due to the interplay of spin, orbital and...

BeO is a promising material in order to improve HfO2-based MOSFET devices, and a candidate substitute of HfO2 as high-k gate material. The electrical properties of BeO can be...

Bi3O2S3 is a newly discovered superconductor with a critical temperature ~4.5 K and an upper critical field of 4.8 T. It is highly unusual among the new layered structures in...

We propose to study PdxIrTe2, which evolves from a charge-orbital density wave state to a superconducting state with doping. It has a similar structural motif, doping-dependent...

Molecular solids like sodium superoxide NaO2 possess relatively simple crystal structures, yet their magnetism is surprisingly complex. This is presumably due to the interplay...

The quasi 1-D magnets ANiCl3: A = Cs, Tl, order magnetically in two steps. A partially ordered state between TN1 and TN2 and a fully magnetic ordered state below TN2. RbNiCl3...

Research on the superconductivity in a Weyl semimetal is an interesting area of research due to possibility of realizing exotic phenomenon such as Morona fermions. The,...

The possibility of superconductivity in tetragonal FeS has attracted considerable interest because of its similarities to the FeSe superconductor. However, for a long time all...

lambda-(BETS)2GaCl4 is a non-magnetic anion-based organic superconductor SC attracting interest since its Fe analog becomes SC by applying 33 T. Both SCs have similar Tc ~5 K....

In 2012 we demonstrated that molecular spacer layers could be intercalated in between FeSe layers resulting in a dramatic enhancement of the critical temperature: FeSe is itself...

A magnetic response of the alkali-metal superoxides comes from the p-orbital S = 1/2 spins of anionic O2- molecules. As the O2- molecules are highly reorientable and the...

Open p-shell anionic compounds are model systems where the interplay between charge, lattice, orbital, and spin degrees of freedom leads to complex magnetic behavior. In the...

We plan to investigate Na2IrO3 samples with a partial substitution of Na by means of a transition metal element (the cases of TM = Co, Ni, Cu and Zn will be considered). The...

A quantum spin liquid (QSL) shows no magnetic order down to zero temperature but the spins are highly entangled. More and more interests are attracted to 2D spin-1/2...

In Ce-based heavy fermion materials, there is competition between the interactions which lead to a magnetically ordered arrangement of the Ce magnetic moments, and the...

The rise of quantum materials observed in the past decades has been a source of great excitement for condensed matter scientists, with the flourishing of new concepts and...
