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

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...

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...

The proposed 1111 system whose structures are largely underinvestigated exhibits properties with a strong potential for novel properties that complement our knowledge of the...

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...

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...

The discovery of superconductivity in ThCr2Si2 type tetragonal Fe-based compounds (i.e. YFe2Ge2) have generated considerable interest. Recently we found bulk superconductivity...

Metallic systems with one-dimensional chain-like atomic structure can support unusual mechanisms for electron pairing leading to superconductivity. K_2Cr_3As_3 is one of 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...

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...

The material Cu(1,3-benzenedicarboxylate) (C8H4CuO4) features structurally perfect kagome lattice planes of spin-1/2 copper2+ ions, with the separated by organic linkers. High...

In this proposal we suggest an investigation of the time reversal symmetry breaking in the superconducting compounds YRuB2 and LuRuB2 with orthorhombic structure (space group...

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...

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

An economy based on hydrogen as an energy carrier is one of the most promising solutions against the greenhouse effect problem, due to the large amount of energy produced by the...

The spin ice compounds Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 have come to enormous attention in the past year with the observation of excitations resembling magnetic monopoles. Here we propose...

Here we propose measurements on a unique, newly synthesized series of coordination polymers based on chains of Cu2+ ions. These have been designed with the intention of...

Ternary compounds R5T4X10 crystallizing in primitive tetragonal structure (space group P4/mbm) present interesting physical properties. Of particular interests are the...

PdTe2 was found to be superconducting below Tc = 1.7 K and a Type-II Dirac semimetal. A protected bulk Dirac point arises from a band inversion that occurs within the Te...
