Critical behaviour and FmuF oscillations in Cs2Cu3SnF12 and Rb2Cu3SnF12
Cs2Cu3SnF12 and Rb2Cu3SnF12 have a distorted kagome structure and the latter exhibits a pinwheel valence bond solid (VBS) state that has been demonstrated by inelastic neutron... -
Kagome quantum spin liquids - The case of Vesignieite
We aim to explore the groundstate of a new near-perfect S=1/2 kagome antiferromagnetic (KAFM) system using MuSR at the lowest possible temperatures. The title compound is... -
Magnetic correlations in yttrium diluted Ho2-xYxTi2O7 spin ice.
Pure Ho2Ti2O7 exhibits spin ice beahviour. Studies of doped spin ice, replacing Ho with non-magnetic Y, suggest that the spin ice state is present even when the amount of doping... -
Non-magnetic impurities in a strong-leg spin ladder
Th S = ½ AF spin ladder is one of the most important models in quantum magnetism. While its properties throughout the (H,T)-phase diagram may be considered to be well understood... -
muSR study of the heavy fermion antiferromagnetic superconductor CeNi0.8Bi2
Recently the coexistence of superconductivity (SC) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering has been reported in CeNi0.8Bi2 with TSC = 4.2 K and TN =5 K, which crystallises in the... -
muSR study on non-centrosymmetric Ce-based heavy fermion superconductors: CeT...
Recently a handful of non-centrosymmetric Ce-based HF compounds with general formula CeTX3 (T=transition mental and X=Si or Ge) have been reported to exhibit superconductivity... -
Multiple phase transitions in U2Pt2Sn studied with muon-spin-rotation and rel...
U2Pt2Sn crystallizes in the tetragonal Zr3Al2-type structure (P42/mnm, Z = 4), where uranium atoms occupy two different sites. Our measurements of bulk properties have shown... -
Exploring magnetic fluctuations in a novel iridate pyrochlore: Bi2Ir2O7
Pyrochlore magnets are one of the cornerstones of frustrated magnetism, with two interpenetrating lattices of corner-sharing tetrahedra on which magnetic ions can be placed. By... -
Probing the superconducting state of the non-centrosymmetric Heusler supercon...
Recently, superconductivity has been discovered in a number of materials whose lattices lack inversion symmetry, with important implications for the symmetry of the... -
Magnetic Charge Transport in Spin Ice
We have performed further measurements on Dy2Ti2O7 and confirmed the observation of magnetic charge transport. Given the time constraints of our previous experiment not all... -
Study of multiple magnetic ordering transitions in Ce3Ir4Sn13 using µSR
The cubic compound Ce3Ir4Sn13 shows complex step-like magnetic ordering at 2.1K and 0.6K in the heat capacity (also at 2.18K) and Hall effect. The 2.1K transition is furthermore... -
A µSR study of unconventional spin fluctuation mediated superconductivity in ...
One of us has recently found experimental evidence for unconventional superconductivity in a newly synthesized three-dimensional nearly antiferromagnetic metal, LaAg1−xMnx... -
Dilution of the Near-Kagome Compound Vesignieite
Vesignieite, Cu3VBa2O8(OH)2, is one of very few materials approximating a kagome spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet, a model that is the ideal setting for novel quantum spin... -
Magnetic Properties of Nano-Size La2CuO4
The grain size dependence of magnetic properties of the mother material of the high-Tc cuprate, La2CuO4 (LCO), is proposed to study by muSR. Although LCO shows an...
