Probing the interplay between charge density wave and superconductivity in st...
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... -
A muSR study of a new isotropic molecule-based spin ladder
Progress in the investigation of emergent ground states and novel excitations in condensed matter systems relies on the existence of materials that are well described by simple... -
Studies of the Strongly Correlated Metal Yb4LiGe4
The intermetallic family R5T4 (R = rare earth, T = Si or Ge) exhibit a wide range of magnetic phenomena (eg., magnetic order, GMR, and enhanced magnetocaloric effect) which are... -
Hunting for the low-temperature, low-field magnetization plateau in Tb2Ti2O7
Tb2Ti2O7 is a pyrochlore antiferromagnet that has previously been viewed as a spin liquid. This description fails to describe key features of its physics and more recently the... -
Quantum spin ice physics in Pr-based pyrochlores
In order to explore quantum spin ice physics, we wish to focus on the non-Kramers Pr-based pyrochlores with general formula Pr2M2O7 (M =Sn, Zr, Hf). There is a recent... -
Spin crossover and low temperature spin dynamics in In2VO5
The one dimensional material In2VO5 contains frustrated zigzag chains of corner sharing V 4+ (S = 1/2) square based pyramids interspersed with sheets of edge sharing InO6... -
Models of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase active site: raising the symmetry
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... -

One of strongly pi-d interacting systems in organic material is lambda-(STF)2MCl4 (M= Fe, Ga) (STF is C10S6Se2H8: bisethylenedithiodiselenadithiafulvalene). Ga compound... -
A µSR study of single crystals of the superconductor ZrB12
We have grown large single crystals of ZrB12 with an image furnace at Warwick. Our previous uSR study on a polycrystalline sample of superconducting ZrB12 using MuSR at ISIS... -
Determining the ground state in the metallic ferroelectric LiOsO3
LiOsO3 is a very unusual metallic ferroelectric. This experiment aims to distinguish between two contrasting possibilities for the ground state of this material which can be... -
Quantum tunnelling of muonium via radical states in molecular solids
The extreme quantum nature of muons and muonium in condensed matter is the result of having a mass that is nine times lighter than that of a hydrogen atom. While this quantum... -
A second generation 2D antiferromagnet investigated with muons
Low-dimensional quantum magnetism continues to be of great theoretical and experimental interest, as reduced dimensionality supports strong quantum fluctuations which can result... -
Spin dynamics in the ground state of the multiferroic FeTe2O5Br and FeTe2O5Cl
Recently, we have found a new multiferroics material FeTe2O5Br, with simultaneous ferroelectric and incommensurate magnetic orderings appear at TN = 11 K. Our neutron... -
Spin Dynamics in a Quantum Pyrochlore Antiferromagnet
Frustrated compounds belonging to the pyrochlore family have attracted significant interest as they can host a huge variety of exotic phases. In order to explore the rich phase... -
The origin of the dissolution of cellulose in NaOH/urea aqueous solution at -...
Cellulose is produced over tens of billions of tons every year in the world. It is the one of the most abundant natural polymer resources. Compared with petroleum-based... -
Probing the Magnetism and Suspected Quantum Fluctuations in Green Dioptase
It has been suggested that within green dipotase there the magnetism is dominated by quantum flucuations but evidence for this is not definitive. This means that in this... -
Mechanical disorder-induced quantum spin liquid in a two-dimensional triangul...
The quantum spin liquid (QSL) state is one of the possible outcomes of quantum fluctuations advancing magnetic systems into a disordered phase. After more than 30 years of quest... -
Muon spin relaxation study on Sr2TIrO6 (T = Ca, Mg, Sc and Lu) to understand ...
In recent times iridates have become a fertile ground for studies of new physics driven by strong spin-orbit coupling that is analogous to the on-site Coulomb and crystalline... -
Investigating spin dynamics in spinel spin ice with musr and high freqeuncy s...
Spin ice materials exhibit novel magnetic behaviour because of their atomic interactions and geometric constraints of the crystal lattice. This novel behaviour takes the form of... -
Spin dynamics of Ce in the Noncentrosymmetric Heavy-Fermion Superconductors C...
In centrosymmetric heavy-fermion (HF) superconductors Cooper pairs have either singlet or triplet symmetry. Recently a handful of non-centrosymmetric Ce-based HF compounds have...
