Magnetic Ordering in the Heavy Fermion CePtZn
In rare-earth containing metals, there is a strong competition between the tendency of these systems to magnetically order or form a superconducting state, mirroring in many... -
Superconducting properties of a new family of noncentrosymmetric superconductors
In some materials, the onset of superconductivity is accompanied by the spontaneous appearance of small magnetic fields. This is a signature of broken time-reversal-symmetry... -
The Destruction of Superconductivity by Inter-Band Scattering in (Lu1-xYx)2Fe...
This proposal plans to investigate the destruction of superconductivity by inter-band scattering in Lu_2Fe_3Si_5 doped by Y and Dy. Recent muon spin rotation studies have shown... -
Unconventional superconductivity in quasi-1D K_2Cr_3As_3
Metallic systems with one-dimensional chain-like atomic structure can support unusual mechanisms for electron pairing leading to superconductivity. K_2Cr_3As_3 is one of a... -
Study of superconductivity in CaPd2As2, SrPd2As2 and CaPd2Ge2 using muon spin...
The discovery of superconductivity in ThCr2Si2 type tetragonal Fe-based compounds (i.e. YFe2Ge2) have generated considerable interest. Recently we found bulk superconductivity... -
Superconducting Properties and MuSR Study of MgPtSi: Orthorhombic variant of ...
After the discovery of multiband superconductivity in MgB2 (Tc = 39.7 K) a number of studies have been made to understand the origin of superconductivity in this compound as... -
Muon spin relaxation study on cobalt arsenides ACo2As2 (A = Ca, Sr and Ba)
Recent investigations of physical properties of ACo2As2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) indicate that Co-based arsenides could be a potential parent compound like the parent AFe2As2. While... -
Clarifying the magnetism of two polymorphs of Ca2Os2O7 by muon spin rotation
This proposal is part of our project to investigate the unusual physics of 5d transition metal oxides. In particular, we are studying two samples of the chemical composition...
