At the Electron Spin Ressonance Laboratory (ESRlab), our focus lies in the production and investigation of intricate and strongly correlated materials, wherein the interplay of diverse energy scales culminates in the emergence of innovative ground states. Our objective revolves around the comprehensive macro/microscopic characterization and comprehension of the origins and characteristics of these ground states. Furthermore, we aim to ascertain methods for controlling and enhancing their properties by adjusting various physical parameters, including temperature, magnetic field, chemical doping, pressure, or strain. Within the materials under scrutiny, we frequently encounter phenomena such as superconductivity, charge density wave disproportionation, valence disproportionation, phase separation (both electronic and structural), thermoelectricity, and topological states, all of which are intricately linked to these novel ground states. Concurrent with our research endeavors, we undertake a rigorous material synthesis initiative, primarily focusing on producing single crystals of the utmost quality. This synthesis effort also affords us the opportunity to chemically manipulate our compounds, thereby optimizing their promising properties.
