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...

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...

Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has often lead to exotic properties in otherwise banal pool of 'paramagnetic' heavy ion oxides. In this context d4 Ir systems are exciting...

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

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...

The quasi-kagome Kondo lattice CeRhSn exhibits quantum criticality induced by geometrical frustration. Divergent Grüneisen ratios provide evidence for a zero-field QCP. The...

We propose to explore the spin dynamics in LiNiVO4, a system which we believe is a previously unobserved realization of a random distribution of 1D antiferromagnetic Heisenberg...

Our muSR study on Ce(Os1-xFex)2Al10 with x=0.4, which reveals long range magnetic ordering below 24K from the heat capacity, shows unexpected behaviour. The muSR spectra only...

The possibility of superconductivity in tetragonal FeS has attracted considerable interest because of its similarities to the FeSe superconductor. However, for a long time all...

Recently, a new family of ternary platinum phosphide superconductors have been synthesised with the chemical formula APt3P (A = Sr, Ca, and La, with Tc’s of 8.4, 6.6, and 1.5 K,...

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

The combination of strong magnetic frustration and low spin found in the S=1/2 quantum antiferromagnet is believed to lead to non-classical magnetic behaviour, and in particular...

High quality single crystals Lu5M6Sn18 (M = Co, Rh, and Ir) have been successfully growth by flux method. These caged type compound reveal superconductivity below Tc = 1.5 K, 4...

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

Systems that exhibit a high degree of anisotropy have been attracting considerable attention due to unique physical properties. Recently three superconductors (SC), BaIr2Ge7,...

In centrosymmetric heavy-fermion (HF) superconductors Cooper pairs have either singlet or triplet symmetry. Recently a handful of non-centrosymmetric Ce-based HF compounds have...

Very recently Sato et al., JPSJ 2018 have investigated superconductivity in the single crystals of CeIr3 (Tc = 3.4 K, which is highest among Ce compounds), which shows a weak...

Experimentally exploring the fascinating physics of one- and two-dimensional magnetism continues to rely on the synthesis of novel, model systems with highly anisotropic...

The role and interplay of the different charge degrees of freedom remain a central issue in many unconventional superconductors. PdxTaSe2 series is an ideal system to study such...

Our recent research of various Th-bearing systems revealed bulk superconductivity in ThIrSi3, ThIr2Si2 and ThCoSi. The critical temperatures determined from the resistivity and...
