2009.07.08 - New discovery by our group
D. Kaczorowski, A. Pikul, D. Gnida and V. H. Tran discovered ambient pressure superconductivity in antiferromagnetically ordered heavy-fermion compound Ce2PdIn8. For details see Physical Review Letters 103 (2009) 027003.
2009.05.21 - New paper in Physical Review Letters
A. Pikul is one of the authors of a letter describing Kondo-cluster-glass state near a ferromagnetic quantum phase transition in CePd1-xRhx. For details see Physical Review Letters 102 (2009) 206404.
2009.05.14 - New paper in Physical Review Letters
A. Pikul is one of the authors of a letter describing precise specific-heat measurement carried out on high-quality single crystals of YbRh2Si2. The experiments revealed large positive critical exponent α = 0.38 around the antiferromagnetic phase transition at TN = 70 mK, which differs significantly from those of the conventional universality class in the Ginzburg-Landau theory (where α ≤ 0.11). For details see Physical Review Letters 102 (2009) 196402.
