Mechanical disorder-induced quantum spin liquid in a two-dimensional triangul...
The quantum spin liquid (QSL) state is one of the possible outcomes of quantum fluctuations advancing magnetic systems into a disordered phase. After more than 30 years of quest... -
MuSR Study of Magnetically Frustrated Lu2Mo2(O,N)7 pyrochlores
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... -
Repolarization of Radicals in Liquids
The recovery of the muon polarization in a longitudinal magnetic field has been used to obtain the muon hfcs of organic radicals. In pure benzene there is a single step in the... -
muSR studies of expanded fullerides across the superconductivity dome
FCC Cs3C60 can be driven to a bulk superconducting state without symmetry change by the application of pressure. Its Tc passes through a maximum of 35 K at 6 kbar. We have been... -
Models of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase active site: high symmetry in a biologically...
The [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes are some of the best catalysts know for generating hydrogen. We have an ongoing programme to understand how their chemistry works, and to... -
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... -
Is there a hidden Magnetic Order in KxRb2-xV8O16?
KxRb2-xV8O16 are series of hollandite compounds exhibiting a quasi 1D structure. In such systems, the formation of the magnetic ground state originates from a dominant... -
Magnetic Ground State of a New Honeycomb Iridate
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... -
MuSR study of organic solar cells
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... -
Field-induced low-temperature phase in NaO2
Molecular solids like sodium superoxide NaO2 exhibit intricate magnetic behavior despite their simple chemical structure. This is due to the interplay of spin, orbital and... -
Muonium in BeO
BeO is a promising material in order to improve HfO2-based MOSFET devices, and a candidate substitute of HfO2 as high-k gate material. The electrical properties of BeO can be... -
Investigation of superconducting ground state of the first Fe-based silicide ...
HTSC in the iron-based superconductors (Fe-SC) is one of the most active and challenging topics. Very recently some of us (F. Bernardini et al.) have reported SC in novel... -

Valence tautomers are bistable molecules of potential interest for magnetic storage and spintronic devices which can be switched between a low-spin and a high-spin state by... -
Mechanistic insights into Li+ ion diffusion in a new class of bimetallic boro...
Solid state electrolytes are key components for all solid state battery to deal with the safety concern. Development of new solid electrolytes necessitates fundamental... -
Spin Frustration in Iridate Systems, and the Role of the Spin-Orbit Coupling
We propose to investigate the roles of the spin-orbit interaction and geometrical frustration in stabilising a quantum spin liquid phase (QSL) in some iridate systems. µSR is a... -
Exploring the Magnetic Behaviour of New S = 1/2 Vanadium Oxyfluoride Kagome A...
Quantum spin liquid (QSL) states emerge when the arrangement of magnetic moments in a material frustrates magnetic interactions and low spin magnetic moments allow for strong... -
Sample-cooling effects on the field-induced low-temperature magnetic phase in...
Molecular solids like sodium superoxide NaO2 possess relatively simple crystal structures, yet their magnetism is surprisingly complex. This is presumably due to the interplay... -
