Quantum Materials Under Pressure
- Francis Pratt (STFC)
Cuprate high-temperature superconductors have complex phase diagrams with multiple competing ordered phases. Understanding to which degree charge, spin, and superconducting orders compete or coexist is paramount for elucidating the microscopic pairing mechanism in the cuprate HTSs. In this talk, I will report some novel results of muon-spin rotation (μSR), AC susceptibility and X-ray...
Low dimensional magnetism is a field that has developed tremendously over the last decades. In search for model compounds, the use of high-pressure synthesis is an effective route for stabilizing otherwise inaccessible crystal structures and materials. Among such compounds we find K2V8O16, which is a quasi 1D magnet that belongs to the Hollandite family. K2V8O16 undergoes TMIT = 160 K, driven...
