Recently, we performed muSR measurements at the continuous muon source at PSI on the magnetic and superconducting properties of locally non-centrosymmetric SrPtAs. We find a...

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...

PrOs4Sb12 is a 1.85 K superconductor. Its superconductivity shows unconventional behavior, and the originating mechanism remains unknown. One characteristic is an internal...

We propose to carry out a muSR study of the spin dynamics in two single crystal samples of Yb2Ti2O7. Both samples are notionally stoichiometric but they have been prepared using...

CeRhIn5 is an antiferromagnetic itinerant magnet which illustrates a temperature and pressure interplay between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. Recently, it has been...

It is well known that an S = 1 antiferromagnetic spin chain is predicted to have a quantum disordered ground state and a gap in its excitation spectrum. This so-called Haldane...

Low-dimensional quantum magnetism continues to be of great theoretical and experimental interest as reduced dimensionality supports strong quantum fluctuations which can result...

Compounds with formula R2SrAl2O7 (R=rare earth) look superficially similar to the well-known bilayer manganites, but here the perovskite bilayers contain Al and are nonmagnetic....

We propose to complete an investigation of the phase diagram of a series of molecular 2D quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets (2DQHAFs) with random exchange strengths. This is a...

Spin ladders present a class of low-dimensional quantum magnets that occupy a regime of rather subtle behavior which lies between the stark extremes of a one-dimensional chain...

A new rare-earth triangular quantum spin liquid (QSL) candidate, YbMgGaO4, has an odd number of electrons per unit cell and spin-orbit entangled effective spin-1/2 (Yb3+)....

PdxTaSe2 series is an excellent system for the investigation of the interplay between CDW and superconductivity which shows quantum critical point for x = 0.1. Very recently, we...

The rise of quantum materials observed in the past decades has been a source of great excitement for condensed matter scientists, with the flourishing of new concepts and...

Frustrated compounds belonging to the pyrochlore family have attracted significant interest as they can host a huge variety of exotic phases. In order to explore the rich phase...

In this proposal we propose to investigate the superconducting ground state of the non-centrosymmetric superconductor Ru7B3. Controversy exists over the nature of the...

The quantum spin liquid (QSL) state is one of the possible outcomes of quantum fluctuations advancing magnetic systems into a disordered phase. After more than 30 years of quest...

Muon spin relaxation will be used to study the low temperature magnetic properties of a new metal-oxalato-framework compound [(C2H5)3NH]2Cu2(C2O4)3. This has a three-dimensional...

The investigation of electron correlations in intermetallic alloys is fascinating. At times, depending on the nature and strength of correlations, the compounds exhibit...
