Ce-compounds are well known to present very rich physics and exotic electronic ground state due to the competing RKKY, Kondo and crystal field interactions. Recently CeRuPO... -
Valence bond solid in the charge ordered state of Rb4O6
Open p-shell anionic mixed-valence compounds have been recently proposed as intriguing model systems for disentangling the complex interplay of charge, lattice, orbital, and... -
How complex is complex: an ALC study of a 10-mer helical peptide chain
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... -
QLCR Spectroscopy of Solid Nitrogen
Quadrupolar level crossing resonance (QLCR) occurs in the muSR of solids with diamagnetic muon states in close proximity to quadrupolar nuclei. This effect provides uniquely... -
Varying oxygen content in the quantum spin ice Tb2Ti2O7
Tb2Ti2O7 is one of two compounds identified as potential quantum spin ices. As with other oxide pyrochlores the properties depend sensitively on the oxygen stoichiometry. Most... -
