Investigation of superconducting ground state of the first Fe-based silicide ...
HTSC in the iron-based superconductors (Fe-SC) is one of the most active and challenging topics. Very recently some of us (F. Bernardini et al.) have reported SC in novel... -
Probing the superconducting ground state of the centrosymmetric superconducto...
This proposal plans to investigate the superconducting ground state of LaNiGa2 which is a centrosymmetric superconductor with a superconducting transition of ~2K. Heat capacity... -
Magnetic ordering and correlation phenomena in the rare-earth RT2Al10 compounds
RT2Al10 is a new series of rare-earth-based ternary aluminide compounds that show a variety of magnetic phenomena. This proposal is for a muSR study on three of its members to... -
muSR studies of expanded fullerides across the superconductivity dome
FCC Cs3C60 can be driven to a bulk superconducting state without symmetry change by the application of pressure. Its Tc passes through a maximum of 35 K at 6 kbar. We have been... -
Muon spin rotation study on PrTSi3 (T = Ir, Rh and Ru)
Recently we have investigated three new ternary intermetallic compounds PrTSi3 (T = Ir, Rh and Ru) which form in BaNiSn3-type tetragonal structure. The susceptibility exhibits... -
Spin-liquid ground state on the perfect kagome lattice in YCu3(OH)6Cl3
Although spin-liquid ground state (GS) of a quantum kagome antiferromagnet has been well accepted, its exact nature remains elusive. Partially, this is due to theory being... -
Probing the magnetic ground state in one dimensional magnetic systems Ba3CrS5...
Most of the one dimensional spin chain compounds are antiferromagnetic with a rich magnetic phase diagram due to the magnetic frustration. We have synthesized Ba3CrS5 and... -
Local magnetism and magnetoeletric effect in TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 studied by muon SR
TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 is an interesting multiferroic material, as the partial substitution of the Jahn-Teller active Mn3+ cation by the non-Jahn-Teller active Fe3+ has remarkable... -
Local magnetism, magnetic fluctuations and disorder, and lattice distortions ...
We aim at performing temperature (2-300K) and magnetic field (0-5T) dependent muon SR on a 1X1 cm2 mosaic, made of 4* 5x5x2 mm3 TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 single crystals (largest area... -
Layered lithium iron selenide hydroxide superconductors
FeSe is a superconductor below 8.5 K. Very recently, we have found superconductivity in a wide compositional range in a series of layered lithium iron selenide hydroxides.... -
Muon spin relaxation study of R2RuO5 (R = Pr, Nd, Sm, Tb)
R2RuO5 (R = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb) are known to exhibit interesting physical properties. They all show magnetic ordering between 8 ¿ 24 K. They also show large Sommerfeld... -
Extreme Muon Quantum Effects in Solid Acetone
Extreme muon quantum effects will be studied in the simple organic molecule acetone in deuterated and undeuterated forms using ALC spectroscopy to determine the quantum averaged... -
Superconducting ammonia-rich metal/ammonia intercalates of FeSe
The discovery of superconductivity at up to 55 K in a series of iron arsenide and selenide materials has ignited huge interest. These compounds show unique features that are...
