L10 (CuAu(I)-type) ordered FePd as well as FePt and CoPt, due to their high magnetic anisotropy, are candidate materials for future ultra-high density magnetic recording. Atomic diffusion governs the structural relaxation and associated…
The electron spin resonance spectrum of a quasi 1D S=1/2 antiferromagnet K2CuSO4Br2 was found to demonstrate an energy gap and a doublet of resonance lines in a wide temperature range between the Curie--Weiss and Ne\`{e}l temperatures. This…
Experimental investigation of the resistivity $\rho$, susceptibility $\chi$, specific heat C$_p$, and Hall coefficient R$_H$ of the pyrochlore Cd$_2$Re$_2$O$_7$ reveals the presence of a continuous phase transition of uncertain origin with…
We have studied the magnetic excitations in Ca$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$RuO$_4$, x=0.52 and 0.62, which exhibit an anomalous high susceptibility and heavy mass Fermi liquid behavior. Our inelastic neutron scattering experiments reveal strongly enhanced…
We report neutron diffraction measurements of Ca$_{0.6}$Sr$_{0.4}$MnSb$_2$, a low-carrier-density Dirac semimetal in which the antiferromagnetic Mn layers are interleaved with Sb layers that host Dirac fermions. We have discovered that we…
A recent zero-field (ZF) and longitudinal-field (LF) muon spin relaxation ($\mu$SR) study of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_y$ [Jian~Zhang {\it et al.}, arXiv:1709.06799] claims to have detected critical slowing down of magnetic fluctuations near the…
We describe neutron scattering experiments performed to investigate the magnetic order and dynamics of half-doped La1.5Sr0.5CoO4. This layered perovskite exhibits a near-ideal checkerboard pattern of Co2+/Co3+ charge order at temperatures…
We report a neutron scattering study on the tetragonal compound Sr_2Cu_3O_4Cl_2, which has two-dimensional (2D) interpenetrating Cu_I and Cu_{II} subsystems, each forming a S=1/2 square lattice quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet (SLQHA).…
The identification of fractionalized excitations in quantum spin liquids (QSLs) remains a central challenge in condensed matter physics. In dipolar-octupolar (DO) pyrochlores, such as $\text{Ce}_2\text{Zr}_2\text{O}_7$, the candidate…
Measurements of electrical resistivity ($\rho$), DC magnetization ($M$) and specific heat ($C$) have been performed on layered oxide Li$_x$CoO$_2$ (0.25$\leq$$x$$\leq$0.99) using single crystal specimens. The $\rho$ versus temperature ($T$)…
We consider the polarization function P^{exp}_Z(t) measured by the muon-spin relaxation (muSR) technique for the SrCr8Ga4O19 and ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 spin-liquid systems. We show the functional form of P^{exp}_Z(t) to imply that, in the…
Describing Li-ion battery positive electrodes in terms of distinct transition metal or oxygen redox regimes can lead to confusion in understanding metal-ligand hybridisation, oxygen dimerisation, and degradation. There is a pressing need to…
Zero field and longitudinal field muon spin relaxation measurements have been performed in optimally doped and overdoped superconductors LaFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_x$ in order to investigate the magnetic fluctuation over a wide range of temperature…
We report a high-resolution resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering study of the quantum magnetic spin-chain materials Li2CuO2 and CuGeO3. By tuning the incoming photon energy to the oxygen K-edge, a strong excitation around 3.5 eV energy…
Spin fluctuation is presumed to be one of the key properties in understanding the microscopic origin of heavy-fermion-like behavior in the class of transition-metal compounds, including LiV$_2$O$_4$, Y(Sc)Mn$_2$, and YMn$_2$Zn$_{20}$. In…
The diffusional dynamics and vibrational spectroscopy of molecular hydrogen (H$_2$) in myoglobin (Mb) is characterized. Hydrogen has been implicated in a number of physiologically relevant processes, including cellular aging or…
The magnetic interactions between the spin of an unpaired electron and the surrounding nuclear spins can be exploited to gain structural information, to reduce nuclear relaxation times as well as to create nuclear hyperpolarization via…
We investigated the dispersion of nuclear spin waves in Nd$_2$CuO$_4$ by using neutron spin-echo spectroscopy at millikelvin temperatures. Our results show unambiguously the existence of dispersion of nuclear spin waves in Nd$_2$CuO$_4$ at…
Spin excitations of La2-xSrxCuO have been studied using inelastic neutron scattering techniques in the energy range of 2 meV =< w =< 12 meV and the temperature range of 8 K =< T =< 150 K. We observed a signature of a spin pseudo gap in the…
The spectral-weight distribution in recent neutron scattering experiments on the parent compound La$_2$CuO$_4$ (LCO), which are limited in energy range to about 450\,meV, is studied in the framework of the Hubbard model on the square…
