Abstract
The project will experimentally and theoretically study the forms of arrangement and collective ground states in systems with highly correlated electrons, frustrated magnetic interactions and interactions between charge, spin and crystal lattice. The cooperation of scientists who possess complementary knowledge will produce top scientific results and, through the publication of scientific papers and successful applications of scientific projects, raise the scientific excellence of the Institute of Physics. The research topics are in line with the strategy of the Institute of Physics, and the implementation of the project will ensure the sustainability of the results of the project Cryogenic centre at the Institute of Physics. The interplay of the couplings of charge, spin, crystal lattice and orbital degrees of freedom causes strong correlations and frustration and leads to the appearance of new forms of ordering and collective ground states with unexpected properties. Understanding such complex problems requires a comprehensive approach using a wide range of diverse experimental and theoretical methods. This is why a team of scientists has been assembled who possess complementary knowledge and skills in measuring magnetic, transport, dielectric and thermal properties in a wide range of temperature, magnetic field, pressures and voltages and in modeling these properties with different theoretical tools.
