Description | The nature of nodal superconductivity in new superconductors with formulae ACa2Fe4As4F2 has been clarified. New techniques have been developed to perform muon site calculations. A full description of the muon-fluorine interaction has been provided which has given a new window on decoherence. The muon site in pyrochlores has been clarified and explained. The effect of the muon on unconventional superconductors has been understood. |
Exploitation Route | This research is part of the development of advanced materials for technology applications. |

Description | The paper "Information and Decoherence in a Muon-Fluorine Coupled System", J. M. Wilkinson and S. J. Blundell, Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 087201 (2020) solves a long-standing research problem by demonstrating how to describe the coherent evolution of a fundamental muon-nuclear coupled spin system. This result was well publicised. |
