Unstressed lattice parameter studies for weld residual stress determination
This study addresses the need to improve the reliability of measurements of weld residual stress; particularly for the type of welds used within the nuclear power industry. Such... -
Muon Spin Relaxation studies of Ni2TCNQ, Ni(TCNQ)2 and related materials
Amorphous molecular magnetic materials Ni2(OA) (OA:organic acceptor) were reported to exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperatures >400K. This work is controversial as it... -
MuSR study on optically injected electronic spin in GaAs
In the field of semiconductor spintronics, n-type GaAs has been utilized as a prototype system, where one can inject electronic spin and study its behavior with optical... -
Muonium-photocarrier interaction in germanium
Having established the photo-MuSR method in intrinsic silicon to investigate excess carrier recombination lifetime and Mu-photocarrier dynamics in our previous experiments, we... -
Thermal ionization of bond-centred muonium in diamond
Our previous LF-µSR measurements in natural type Ia single crystal diamond showed some evidence of the ionization of bond-centred muonium (MuBC) from around 1000K. This was... -
Crystal Structures of Multiferroic MnWO4: HRPD
Multiferroic materials are rare and exceptional: they are ferroelectric and ferromagnetic in the same phase and these two properties can couple. Recently, materials with complex... -
Muon Spin Resonance investigations on two quantum critical points in CeFeAs1-...
Recently, it has been reported that CeFeAsO belongs to orthorhombic structure where both Fe and Ce moments order antiferromagnetically around 140K and 4K, respectively, whereas... -
Diffraction Resistance Measurements of a Chalcopyrite
During the course of a PhD project funded by CCLRC's CMPC, we have developed a cell that allows electrical transport property measurements to be made simultaneously with the... -
Evolving structures of oxysulfide battery materials
This proposal aims to investigate the evolution of the structures of layered oxysulfide materials which show promise as lithium ion battery electrodes. The lithiation of... -
Probing the products of free radical reactions in ionic liquids
Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical... -
Neutron critical opalescence near the critical points of 3He and 3He-4He mixt...
Building on our preliminary neutron transmission results from the CRISP instrument (see below), we propose to undertake a detailed study of critical fluctuations in 3He near its... -
Rapid microfluidic phase mapping of SDS:water:butanol
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic surfactant, extensively employed in cosmetics and personal care, as well as in pharmaceuticals and food products. Surfactants are... -
Anomalous spin diffusion in 2D percolating magnet
This proposal is to observe single-spin diffusive motion on a two-dimensional (2D) percolating network having a fractal geometry. The random walker¿s travel times on a...
