Non-centrosymmetric superconductors (NCS) are believed to be good candidates for unconventional superconductivity. In particular, there is the possibility of Cooper pairs with...

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...

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...

Recently the discovery of superconductivity in the quasi-1D Rb2Cr3As3 with TC=4.8 K has attracted considerable interest. The unconventional superconductivity has been revealed...

Lu3Os4Ge13 is an interesting superconducting system, with potentially unconventional physics. It is a low carrier density semi-metal, exhibiting superconductivity at 3.1 K. This...

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...

In recent work Moessner and colleagues have demonstrated that thermally induced defects in spin ice behave as emergent magnetic monopoles. Within the material there exist...

In superconductors, the inversion symmetry of the crystallographic structure plays a central role in the formation of the Cooper pairs. The intermetallic compounds La7Pd3 and...

We propose to perform a survey of the zero-field and applied field muSR in CeRu4Sn6 single crystal. We will do the field dependence of the muSR response at base temperature in...

The ternary intermetallics, which crystallise in the ThCr2Si2 structure, have been extensively studied mainly because these materials offer a rich variety of exotic ground...

It has recently been proposed that Ba2YMoO6 is the first example of an exotic valence bond glass (VBG), which is characterized by an amorphous arrangement of spin dimers and...

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...

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...

In an attempt to study the dynamics of Dy2Ti2O7 measured using muons we have made a sample of 162Dy2Ti2O7 where the 161 and 164 isotopes are reduced to a minimum (max. 0.6% of...
