This project aims to explore new examples of quantum materials, including low-dimensional and quantum magnets, exotic conducting materials, unconventional superconductors and other strongly correlated electron systems. Ultra-high magnetic fields will be used as a probe and a control parameter of the electronic and magnetic interactions. In addition, applied pressure will be employed to tune the materials through critical points in their phase diagram. Key quantities such as crystal structure, magnetization, resistivity, specific heat and spin dynamics will be measured and used to shed light on the mechanisms behind the theoretically and technologically significant properties these materials display. Collaborations will take place with: sample-growth experts in Warwick, University of Oxford and with international partners: theoreticians from NTU Singapore and University of Cambridge; and experimentalists at Durham University, ISIS Muon and Neutron Source, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, USA and the European Magnetic Field Laboratory. The work done as part of this project addresses objectives in EPSRC's 2022-25 Strategic Delivery Plan, especially via the Physical and Mathematical Sciences Powerhouse Priority. The research lies within the EPSRC's Physical Sciences theme Advanced Materials contributing to Research Areas such as Materials for Energy Applications, Superconductivity, and Condensed Matter: Magnetism & Magnetic Materials and Electronic Structure.

该项目旨在探索量子材料的新例子，包括低维和量子磁体、奇异导电材料、非常规超导体和其他强相关电子系统。超高磁场将用作电子和磁相互作用的探针和控制参数。此外，将利用施加的压力来调整材料通过相图中的临界点。晶体结构、磁化强度、电阻率、比热和自旋动力学等关键量将被测量并用于揭示这些材料所表现出的具有理论和技术意义的特性背后的机制。合作伙伴包括：沃里克大学、牛津大学的样本生长专家以及国际合作伙伴：新加坡南洋理工大学和剑桥大学的理论家；以及杜伦大学、ISIS Muon 和中子源、美国国家高磁场实验室和欧洲磁场实验室的实验人员。作为该项目的一部分完成的工作解决了 EPSRC 2022-25 战略交付计划中的目标，特别是通过物理和数学科学强国优先事项。该研究属于 EPSRC 物理科学主题“先进材料”，致力于能源应用材料、超导性和凝聚态物质：磁性和磁性材料以及电子结构等研究领域。
