For over 40 years spin polarized muons at TRIUMF have been used as a magnetic probe of solids via the technique of muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance (µSR). With the increasing need to understand more complex materials, sophisticated scientific tools like µSR are necessary. Through the years innovative advances in instrumentation and refurbishment of muon beam lines have...
Recent measurements using resonant soft x-ray scattering in the cuprate superconductors have shown that charge density wave order and electronic nematicity are key ingredients in the long-standing problem of high-temperature superconductivity. I will discuss the development of this technique at the Canadian Light Source and show how it has led to new insights in the physics of the cuprates and...
The advent of new time-of-flight neutron spectrometers at both spallation-based and reactor-based neutron sources has fundamentally changed the nature of the information that can be obtained using inelastic neutron scattering. Measurements on single crystals can now map out comprehensive four-dimensional (three momenta and one energy dimensions) data sets of inelastic scattering from both spin...
High magnetic field laboratories provide users with a wide range of sample environments that are difficult to set up in a conventional research laboratory: steady magnetic fields up to 45 tesla, pulsed fields up to 100 tesla, temperatures down to the low mK range, and high pressures up to 10’s of GPa. Moreover, they offer a wide variety of measurement capabilities, including transport,...
