In materials with strong local Coulomb interactions, simple defects such as atomic
substitutions strongly affect both macroscopic and local properties of the system. A …

The authors present a review of recent muon spin rotation (μSR) studies of the vortex state in
type-II superconductors. There are significant gaps in our understanding of this unusual …

The transport of a small amount of liquid on a solid is not a simple process, owing to the
nature of the contact between the two phases. Setting a liquid droplet in motion requires non …

Underdoped high-Tc superconductors are frequently characterised by a temperature, T*,
below which the normal-state pseudogap opens. Two different “phase diagrams” based on …

The question of how thin cuprate layers can be while still retaining high-temperature
superconductivity (HTS) has been challenging to address, in part because experimental …

Magnetic interactions and magnetic impurities are destructive to superconductivity in
conventional superconductors. By contrast, in some unconventional macroscopic quantum …

We use resonant x-ray scattering to determine the momentum-dependent charge
correlations in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6.55 samples with highly ordered chain arrays of oxygen …

A review of the muon spin rotation and relaxation studies on magnetic materials published
from July 1993 is presented. It covers the investigation of magnetic phase diagrams, that of …

Abstract We generalize Abrikosov-Gor'kov solution of the problem of weakly coupled
superconductors with impurities to the case of a multiband superconductor with arbitrary …

We have performed transverse-field muon spin relaxation measurements of the Zn-
substituted cuprate high-T c superconductors: La 2− x Sr x (Cu 1− y Zn y) O 4 and YBa 2 (Cu …
