The spin Seebeck effect is a relatively new phenomena that could be harnessed for waste heat recovery. Its advantages lie with a new device architecture (compared to...

Systems that exhibit a high degree of anisotropy have been attracting considerable attention due to unique physical properties. Recently three superconductors (SC), BaIr2Ge7,...

Topological insulators are exotic field of study because of presence of fully gapped bulk states and gap less surface states protected by Time Reversal Symmetry (TRS)....

In centrosymmetric heavy-fermion (HF) superconductors Cooper pairs have either singlet or triplet symmetry. Recently a handful of non-centrosymmetric Ce-based HF compounds have...

Layered superconductors have been attracted substantial attention since the discovery of the cuprate and Fe-based high-Tc superconductors due to the diversity in their crystal...

This proposal plans to investigate the superconducting ground state of the Heusler superconductors with a superconducting transition of ~2K. Heusler compounds have attracted a...

In superconductors, the inversion symmetry of the crystallographic structure plays a central role in the formation of the Cooper pairs. When inversion symmetry is broken, there...

Dimensionality plays an important role in determining the anomalous non-Fermi liquid properties in heavy fermion systems. So far most heavy fermion compounds are...

The quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a long-standing attractive topic in condensed matter physics due to its tight relation to exotic properties such as high temperature...

A new class of materials called Topological Crystalline Insulator(TCI) has been recently proposedtheoretically and subsequently, SnTe has been discovered to exhibit all the...

Ho2-xYxSn2O7 is characterized by degenerate magnetic ground-states, which involve the magnetic structure for x->0 (Spin-Ice phase) and the two-fold degeneracy of the...

Superconductivity and the charge density wave (CDW) are two very different cooperative electronic phenomena. However, both occur because of Fermi surface instabilities and...

Time reversal symmetry (TRS) and inversion symmetry are principal symmetries assumed to provide the necessary conditions for superconductivity (SC) with spin singlet pairing...

We propose muSR experiments to study topological superconductivity in the low-carrier-density superconductor Sn1-xinxTe and Rashba-type non-centrosymmetric superconductor...

Superconductivity and the charge density wave (CDW) are two very different cooperative electronic phenomena. However, both occur because of Fermi surface instabilities and...

We will examine the impact of metal-halide hydrogen bond motifs and their ability to provide low-dimensional superexchange pathways. Specifically, we wish to investigate two new...

CeCu2Si2 was the first heavy fermion superconductor and unlike those previously discovered, which were well explained by BCS theory, CeCu2Si2 is an unconventional...

ZrB12 is a cluster boride compound which is superconducting at 6K although the source of the pairing interaction appears to come from the Zr ions with the boron acting as a...

Very recently Sato et al., JPSJ 2018 have investigated superconductivity in the single crystals of CeIr3 (Tc = 3.4 K, which is highest among Ce compounds), which shows a weak...

The unconventional filled skutterudite superconductor, PrPt4Ge12(Tc ~ 7.9 K), was recently discovered, for which zero field muon spin relaxation (ZF-MuSR) experiments reveal...
