The quasi-kagome Kondo lattice CeRhSn exhibits quantum criticality induced by geometrical frustration. Divergent Grüneisen ratios provide evidence for a zero-field QCP. The...

Many strategies have emerged in recent years in the quest to design and synthesize functional materials which show cooperative properties. A particularly successful route to new...

Pure Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7 exhibit spin ice behaviour. The recent discovery of monopoles and "magnetricity" in Dy2Ti2O7 spin ice has only added to the interest in these...

Skyrmions are chiral magnetic spin textures that exist in a variety of different magnetic materials. Skyrmions are usually stabilized in noncentrosymmetric chiral materials by...

Recent investigations into spin ice suggest excitations that behave like magnetic monopoles, this has included a transverse field muon experiment. When zero field muon...

The noncentrosymmetric half-Heusler semimetals RTBi (R=rare earth, T=Pt, Pd) have recently been proposed, according to electronic structure calculations, as plausible 3D...

A new layered iridate material, Cu2IrO3, has been fabricated. This material is isostructural with the much-studied Na2IrO3 and has a nearly ideal honeycomb structure that should...

Our muSR study on Ce(Os1-xFex)2Al10 with x=0.4, which reveals long range magnetic ordering below 24K from the heat capacity, shows unexpected behaviour. The muSR spectra only...

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...

A unique characteristic of the specific complex order parameters in noncentrosymmetric (NCS) superconductors (SCs) is time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB). The intermetallic...

Cubic A2B2O7 oxides with A standing for a rare-earth element and B for a transition or main block metal have been systematically studied for their frequently exotic...

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...

We propose to use longitudinal field muon-spin relaxation to investigate the excitation spectrum of the most successful realizations of one- and two-dimensional antiferromagnets...

Recently, a new family of ternary platinum phosphide superconductors have been synthesised with the chemical formula APt3P (A = Sr, Ca, and La, with Tc’s of 8.4, 6.6, and 1.5 K,...

Cr-based superconductors provide a playground to understand the pairing mechanism in unconventional superconductor as they are strong candidate for multiband triplet pairing...

A new rare-earth triangular quantum spin liquid (QSL) candidate, YbMgGaO4, has an odd number of electrons per unit cell and spin-orbit entangled effective spin-1/2 (Yb3+)....

The frustration of triangular antiferromagnets with isotropic interactions leads to a variety of ground states even for classical spins. In regions where several classical...

In the layered iron-based superconductor YFe2Ge2, a high Sommerfeld ratio of order 100 mJ/mol K^2 and a T^3/2 temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity at low...

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...

Low-dimensional quantum magnetism continues to be of great theoretical and experimental interest, as reduced dimensionality supports strong quantum fluctuations which can result...
