Search for spin freezing and magnetic order in a frustrated cluster magnet
LiZn2Mo3O8 is a highly unusual geometrically frustrated material: the magnetic moments are associated not with single ions but with small transition-metal clusters. The spin is... -
Magnetic ordering in Co1/3NbS2, a frustrated triangular-lattice system
Amongst layered materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are studied extensively due to their complex phase diagrams exhibiting competing phases. Intercalation... -
µSR study of the frustrated hyper-honeycomb magnet beta-Li2IrO3
In the present proposal, we would like to investigate beta-Li2IrO3, a 5d based hyper-honeycomb system, where strong Kitaev-type anisotropy of magnetic couplings triggers a... -
Spin dynamics in CP*-Ho-COT
Single-Molecular Magnets (SMMs) provide access to the mesoscopic world. They possess slow magnetization relaxation due to an energy barrier induced by axial magnetic anisotropy,... -
