Study of NH4+ mobility in ammonia borane, ammonium borohydride and methyl amm...
We request 5 days on EMU to study the NH4+ ion mobility in the light borohydride materials NH3BH3, NH4BH4 and CH3NH3BH4. As has been proposed by Stowe et al., during the... -
Short range magnetic order in the compositionally modulated Bi2Cr4/3Ni2/3O6 p...
It is particularly challenging to synthesize a novel multiferroic material as it seems that the mechanisms that allow ferromagnets and ferroelectrics to work are mutually... -
Structural evolution and negative thermal expansion of Sr2IrO4
Sr2IrO4 is an important material in condensed matter physics, displaying a novel Jeff=½ Mott insulating state and being a rare comparative system for understanding the high... -
Observation of hydrogen dynamics in hydrogen storage materials by in situ muS...
This proposal describes an in situ muSR experiment on a hydrogen storage material, MgH2. This is because MgH2 attracts a special attention due to the fact that the hydrogen... -
Muons for Energy Nanonics
LiFePO4 (LFP) is a commercially applied cathode material for lithium ion batteries. With its Li ion hopping predominantly occurring along one-dimensional channels, LFP is a very... -
Li-diffusion in anode material Li intercalated graphite for Li-ion battery
We would like to propose a muSR experiment on Li intercalated graphite, which is most commonly used for an anode material of Li-ion battery. With charging (discharging)... -
Proton dynamics in novel organic ferroelectric materials
The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in... -
Investigation of the magnetic phases of the charge transfer compound CuTCNQ
The charge transfer compound CuTCNQ (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane) exhibits switching between two electrical resistance states when subject to an electric field. It...
