We study materials with strong quantum correlations, with emphasis on unconventional superconductors. We employ a broad range of experimental techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance, neutron and X-ray scattering and low-frequency optical spectroscopy.
The group is primarily funded by the Croatian Science Foundation through grant no. UIP-2020-02-9494.

With collaborators at the University of Minnesota and Argonne National Laboratory, USA, Marin Spaić and Damjan Pelc have published a paper on the local structure of bismuthate superconductors in Nature Communications. The work uses diffuse x-ray scattering and Monte Carlo modeling to uncover unexpected local structural distortions that break inversion symmetry, with far-reaching implications for the physics of bismuthates. The paper is available here.
