We want to address the problem of a possible coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism in the FeSr2YCu2Oy cuprate by means of a combined ZF/TF-muSR study. This compound...

We have been recently successful in isolating the fcc polymorph of the key hyperexpanded fulleride Cs3C60 - this phase can be driven to a bulk suprconducting state without...

20 years ago, Anderson proposed that the thermoelastic properties of the dominant (mantle) phase within the Earth, MgSiO3 perovskite, could be described as a simple Debye solid....

It has been known for some time that the CuO bond-stretching phonon in the high-temperature superconductor La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) exhibits anomalies is its dispersion and damping....

We propose to determine the spin gap in TiPO4, to do this we will carry out a zero-field temperature scan from 5 to 150 K and anticipate focusing our measurements on the region...

As part of a project to develop new electronic materials based on the coupling of electronic and structural properties in new perovskites we have been investigating the...

The effect of isotope exchange on the Néel temperature in the cuprates was neer determined because it was impossible to perform relaible isotope exchanges in the parent...

The rise of quantum materials observed in the past decades has been a source of great excitement for condensed matter scientists, with the flourishing of new concepts and...

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...

In a recent letter to Nature, Boothroyd and coworkers have shown that the well known hour-glass spectrum, previously observed in some cuprate materials, occurs in a hole doped...

The organic-inorganic hybrid systems consist of organic and inorganic components forming a 2 D layered structure. The distance between adjacent magnetic layers is quite far,...

We propose to explore the spin dynamics in LiNiVO4, a system which we believe is a previously unobserved realization of a random distribution of 1D antiferromagnetic Heisenberg...

More than 6 million tonnes of carbon black per year are produced worldwide. The major part is used as reinforcing filler material in tyres and mechanical rubber goods. For...

Repolarisation and level crossing resonance will be studied for several different oxalate compounds where muon radical states are known to be formed. Such compounds form a...

Nd2Ir2O7 stands out as a fascinating system among pyrochlore iridates because of its potential for realizing a new topological semimetal state which its emergence strongly...

This study aims at developing a reliable method for probing heat-induced diagenesis in human bones, by INS spectroscopy. The results thus gathered, coupled to Raman and FTIR...

The combination of magnetic frustration and low magnetic moment leads to non-classical magnetic behaviour such as spin liquid states. We have prepared polycrystalline samples of...

RT2Al10 is a new series of rare-earth-based ternary aluminide compounds that show a variety of magnetic phenomena. This proposal is for a muSR study on three of its members to...

Organic solar cells are of great interest, due to their relative cheapness and ease of fabrication. Unfortunately the efficiency of the devices is much lower than the...

Osmium-based oxides show a wide range of interesting properties due to the variety of oxidation states osmium can adopt combined with 5d electrons displaying strong spin-orbit...
