In the family of the iron-based superconductors, the REFeAsO-type compounds (with RE being a rare-earth metal) exhibit the highest bulk superconducting transition temperatures (T-c) up to 55 K and thus hold the key to the elusive pairing mechanism. Recentl ...
High-temperature superconductivity in cuprates emerges as one out of many electronic phases when doping the antiferromagnetic Mott insulator La2CuO4 away from half lling. The description of the superconducting phase is therefore complicated by intertwined ...
The low-temperature microscopic magnetic properties of the quasi-2D heavy-fermion compound, CePt2In7 are investigated by using a positive muon-spin rotation and relaxation (mu+SR) technique. Clear evidence for the formation of a commensurate antiferromagne ...
Spin-orbit coupling has been conjectured to play a key role in the low-energy electronic structure of Sr2RuO4. By using circularly polarized light combined with spin-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we directly measure the value of the effect ...
The charge-ordered state in a quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductor β''−(BEDT-TTF)4[(H3O)Ga(C2O4)3]⋅C6H5NO2 has been investigated using C13 NMR spectroscopy in a high magnetic field. Enhanced resolution of the high-field spectrum allows us to estima ...
Improving our knowledge of the normal state of high-temperature cuprate superconductors is believed to represent an important, and maybe necessary, step to advance in our understanding of their unconventional superconducting state. In this talk we present ...
Using femtosecond time-resolved x-ray diffraction we investigate the structural dynamics of the coherently excited A(1g) phonon mode in the Fe-pnictide parent compound BaFe2As2. The fluence dependent intensity oscillations of two specific Bragg reflections ...
The EDIPO test facility is erected at CRPP Villigen with the aim of providing a flexible, high field test bed for high current force flow superconductors. The EDIPO main coil is a tilted-head race-track pair wound by a graded Nb3Sn cable-in-conduit conduct ...
We study particle and spin transport in a single mode quantum point contact using a charge neutral, quantum degenerate Fermi gas with tunable, attractive interactions. This yields the spin and particle conductance of the point contact as a function of chem ...
The primary H/D kinetic isotope effect on the intramolecular proton transfer in malonaldehyde is determined from quantum instanton path integral Monte Carlo simulations on a fully dimensional and validated potential energy surface for temperatures between ...
