Structural characterisation of emerging functional materials: when you need muons and neutrons from across Europe to build a full picture
Researchers from Durham University and colleagues from Rutgers (The State University of New Jersey) and the University of Edinburgh have collaborated with teams from ISIS, the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) and the PSI Center for Neutron and Muon Sciences to carry out a full characterisation of the double perovskite Pb2MgReO6.
Quantum material under pressure
High pressure enhances superconductivity in a quantum material and alters its properties. PSI researchers have uncovered the microscopic mechanism behind this effect.
Thermodynamic Evidence for Pressure-Driven Evolution towards Weak-Coupling Superconductivity in Pb
The thermodynamic critical field Bc provides direct access to the superconducting condensation energy, yet its pressure dependence has been studied much less extensively than that of the transition temperature. Here, muon-spin-rotation relaxation measurements ...
