The system 1T-TaS2 is a charge density wave (CDW) insulator below 180 K that has one residual spin 1/2 for every 13 Ta atoms in the modulated CDW structure. These spins and...

Quantum phase transitions (QPT's) are phase transitions that are driven by zero-temperature quantum fluctuations, and are accessed by varying a non-thermal control parameter....

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have emerged as an exciting class of materials with the report of superconductivity in alkali doped picene with Tc=18 K. However, due to poor...
