muSR studies of expanded fullerides close to the Mott transition
Fulleride superconductivity is experiencing a renaissance of interest following our recent discovery of superconductivity proximate to an antiferromagnetic Mott insulating state... -
Frustration, quantum spin ices and quantum diffusion
This proposal aims to characterise the spin dynamics of three Pr-based pyrochlores that may be realisations of quantum spin ice materials. The lower moment and larger wave... -

In the present proposal, we would like to investigate beta-Li2IrO3, a 5d based hyper-honeycomb system, where strong Kitaev-type anisotropy of magnetic couplings triggers a... -
Magnetic ordering in Co1/3NbS2, a frustrated triangular-lattice system
Amongst layered materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are studied extensively due to their complex phase diagrams exhibiting competing phases. Intercalation... -
Unveiling competing magnetic interactions in Nd5Ge3: Muon spin relaxation
The physics across the phase transitions in solids has been of topical interest in the condensed matter physics. For example, liquid and vapor coexist along the vapor pressure... -

muSR study of a relaxor ferromagnet
As a consequence of cation disorder, the compound La3Ni2SbO9 behaves as a new type of magnetic material, a "relaxor ferromagnet", somewhat analogous to a relaxor ferroelectric,... -
μSR study on Heisenberg spin ½ dimer NH4CuPO4·H2O
Heisenberg spin 1/2 systems show exotic nature of ground state, which gives rise to a number of interesting quantum phenomena, like being a state of quantum mechanically... -
Spin correlations of a triangular-lattice quantum-spin-liquid candidate
A quantum spin liquid (QSL) shows no magnetic order down to zero temperature but the spins are highly entangled. More and more interests are attracted to 2D spin-1/2... -
