Detailed investigation of the magnetic interaction as a function of temperature
In the series R2PdSi3,the Nd compound is considered to be an anomalous as it orders ferromagnetically (TC= 16 K) with a weak frequency-dependent ac susceptibility (χ)... -
Iron-based superconductors with molecular spacer layers: probing Li diffusion...
All known iron-based superconductors comprise layers of FeAs or FeSe with some combination of group I, group II or lanthanide oxide layers, and usually some doping. To make... -
Spin dynamics of the Heisenberg triangular antiferromagnet KCrO2
The members of the series ACrO2 (where A=Li, Na, K) comprise well-decoupled, highly ideal triangular planes containing isotropic spins. While the A=Li and Na materials have been... -
Muon probes of hydrogen-bond network in supercooled water
Muon diamagnetic fraction in liquid water is known to decrease with decreasing temperature probably because its formation mechanism results from the structural alternation and... -
Influence of the cation disorder on the magnetic properties of underdoped cup...
We want to isolate the effects of doping, charge localization and local distortion on the transition from insulating antiferromagnet to superconducting metal in YBCO. We choose... -
Muonium in widegap oxides
This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-state configurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen... -
μSR investigations of multiferroic system RCrTiO5 (R= rare-earth)
We are currently investigating multiferroic system RCrTiO5 (R= rare-earth) using bulk measurements and have found interesting magnetic properties. To understand the nature of... -
MuSR studies of the electronic properties of hyperexpanded fullerides close t...
The fcc polymorph of the hyperexpanded fulleride Cs3C60 can be driven to a bulk suprconducting state without symmetry change by the application of pressure. Its Tc passes... -
muSR studies of AF/SC/normal phase interplays in La2-xSrxCuO4 and Ba(Fe,Ni)2As2
We propose muSR studies on superfluid density in the overdoped La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO). The Hayden group (Bristol) has been growing high-quality LSCO single crystals, and performed... -
Ultrafast motion of molecular rotors in metal-organic frameworks: a muon-spin...
In recent years, amphidynamic crystals have gained more and more attention as a state of matter somehow intermediate between solids and liquids. In fact, although these systems... -
Fluctuating stripes in an insulating hole-doped antiferromagnet
In a recent letter to Nature, Boothroyd and coworkers have shown that the well known hour-glass spectrum, previously observed in some cuprate materials, occurs in a hole doped... -
Probing re-entrant glassy state in spin chain compound Sm2BaNiO5 using µ-SR s...
We are currently investigating Haldane spin-chain compounds [PRB 2017] of the type R2BaNiO5 (R = rare earth) using bulk measurements and have found the multifunctional... -
Muon Spin Relaxation and ALC Resonance in Magnetic and non-Magnetic Oxalate S...
Repolarisation and level crossing resonance will be studied for several different oxalate compounds where muon radical states are known to be formed. Such compounds form a... -
Rapid Access: Determination of the Magnetic Properties of LaFeAs1-xPxO Across...
Using NMR spectroscopy, the possible existence of a new magnetic state has been suggested to exist in LaFeAs1-xPxO (for x near 0.5); however, other groups failed to detect any... -
Muon-spin rotation study of the in-plane magnetic penetration depth of REFe_(...
We propose a TF-muSR investigation of the superconducting properties of the REFe_(1-y)Ru_yAsO_{1-x}F_x compound (RE=La, Sm). In this system the substitution of Fe by the... -

This is an in depth study of magnetic fluctuations and local field dynamics leading into the low temperature magnetic phase of Vanadium Oxide compounds (VO2, VO2:W and VO2:Ti)... -
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... -
