Investigation of short range magnetic correlations in CeIr3Si2 using SR
CeIr3Si2 reveals highly anisotropic bulk properties with two magnetic transitions at TN1 ~ 3.9 K and TN2 ~ 3.1 K. The overall crystal electric field (CEF) splitting of the J=5/2... -
Spin Coherent Transport in Organic Spin-Valves
We have recently performed a `proof-of-principle' Low Energy Muon Spin Rotation experiment on an organic spin valve. In an extension to our muon measurements and an attempt to... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study of spin gap formation in two forms of BaRuO3
Pseudogap phenomena, which are associated with the reduction in the density of states at EF, have been intensively investigated in HTSC, as well in heavy fermion systems through... -
The ground state of a Kondo ion: V dissolved in the noble metal Au.
The 'non-magnetic' ground state of a Kondo ion is generally believed to consist of the localised spin surrounded by a compensating cloud of conduction electrons coupled... -
High-energy spin excitations in the optimally doped Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2
From our previous data on BaFe2As2 and BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2, one may assume that the superconductivity only affects the low energy excitations. But for Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2, the doping... -
