Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials. As we have recently demonstrated...

Lithium (Li) ion batteries is the most common battery technology but lately also sodium (Na) batteries are being considered. One reason is that the Li-reserves are limited and...

The system 1T-TaS2 is a charge density wave (CDW) insulator below 180 K that has one residual spin 1/2 for every 13 Ta atoms in the modulated CDW structure. These spins and...

Research on positive insertion electrodes for high performance batteries has seen immense interest in fluoride containing compounds, since higher operating potentials can be...

At low temperatures and high magnetic fields, the electron in a muonium or radical state may be polarised if it has an opportunity to reach thermal equilibrium. Such a...

Nonmagnetic impurity substitutions impact on superconducting properties in various ways depending on the pair-breaking mechanism. The aim of the proposed experiment is to...

It is proposed to use ZF and TF muSR to study the low temperature, low field part of the phase diagram of Ba3CuSb2O9, a system with a uniform triangular lattice of S=1/2 Cu ions...

In recent time a significant effort has been devoted to Bi-based compounds for being potential candidates of topological insulators. Similarly, a number of investigations also...

Encouraged by many unconventional magnetic properties in the magnetically frustrated spin-chain compounds of the type A3MM'O6, we have recently synthesized a new member...

In order to improve the performance of future energy devices, nano-structuring materials is one of the most promising routes. LiFePO4 is a commercial battery cathode material...

Antioxidants are very important molecules because they can prevent or slow down the oxidative damage to our bodies. When our bodies use oxygen, free radicals are released which...

Multiferroic materials which exhibit both ferroelectric and (anti)ferromagnetic ordering are of great technological importance offering the potential for the design of novel...

The molecular magnetic system Mo3S7(dmit)3 is a semiconductor with a charge gap of around 100 K and no magnetic transition or spin freezing down to 2 K. In the crystal structure...

Geometrical frustration conspiring with quantum fluctuations in low-dimensional antiferromagnets has been demonstrated over the past years to lead to novel quantum states in...

The [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes are some of the best catalysts know for generating hydrogen. We have an ongoing programme to understand how their chemistry works, and to...

Rare-earth based geometrically frustrated magnets represent a promising new platform for the search of enigmatic quantum spin liquids. Here, the entanglement of spin and orbital...

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