Interplay between magnetism and superconductivity in the FeYSr2Cu2Oy iron sub...
We want to address the problem of a possible coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism in the FeSr2YCu2Oy cuprate by means of a combined ZF/TF-muSR study. This compound... -
Artificial [FeFe]-Hydrogenases and Muon Spectroscopy
Preliminary measurements of [FeFe]-hydrogenase model complexes were made in a previous experiment using EMU (RB 1010177). The results were interpreted in combination with DFT... -
Probing the magnetic ground state in one dimensional magnetic systems Ba3CrS5...
Most of the one dimensional spin chain compounds are antiferromagnetic with a rich magnetic phase diagram due to the magnetic frustration. We have synthesized Ba3CrS5 and... -
Magnetic properties of yttrium diluted Ho2-xYxTi2O7 spin ice.
Pure Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7 exhibit spin ice behaviour. The recent discovery of monopoles and "magnetricity" in Dy2Ti2O7 spin ice has only added to the interest in these... -
