Spectroscopy of muon centres in n-type silicon carbide
We propose a series of measurements to complete the previous direct spectroscopic measurements of the Muonium defect energy levels in Silicon Carbide (SiC; RB110134). We will... -
Investigation of excitonic physics in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules
The MuSES project currently ongoing in the HiFi spectrometer gives unique opportunity in the field of photochemistry and photophysics of organic molecules. After two successful... -
Singlet oxygen interacting with muonium in liquid water
When a muonium in liquid water encounters with a singlet oxygen molecule, it will go through a different reaction/spin conversion mechanism compared with the known case of the... -
Calibrating Polythiophene ALC Spectroscopy with Oligomers
Recent studies of polythiophene using HiFi have suggested that ALC should be a very sensitive probe of the structural state of a polymer via its effect on the spatial extent of... -
Local field orientation and correlation length in the metal-organic perovskit...
In the metal-organic perovskite copper guanidinium formate, correlated Jahn-Teller distortion gives rise to a 1D magnetic structure made up of Heisenberg antiferromagnetic... -
Solvation of sodium by glyme-based electrolytes for sodium intercalation into...
Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium ion in glyme electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Glyme electrolyte are linear ethers of the structure... -
Spin dynamics in CP*-Ho-COT
Single-Molecular Magnets (SMMs) provide access to the mesoscopic world. They possess slow magnetization relaxation due to an energy barrier induced by axial magnetic anisotropy,... -
Total scattering from multiferroic bismuth ferrite
Bismuth Ferrite (BiFeO3) is the archetypal multiferroic material and as such has been copiously studied using a wide variety of techniques. Despite this, new structural and... -
Carrier recombination lifetime spectroscopy with photo-MuSR: Measuring bulk a...
Having established the carrier lifetime spectroscopy in intrinsic Si with the photo-MuSR method in our previous beam times, we recently found its sensitivity for both bulk and... -
Understanding high-performance light-emitting diodes based on carbene-metal-a...
The technology of organic electronics unlocks new ways to create semiconductor devices which are impossible using more conventional materials. The organic semiconductors at... -
Probing possible p-wave superconductivity in Bi/Ni bilayers
Superconductivity and ferromagnetism are perhaps the best examples of how quantum mechanics can be employed to explain macroscopic phenomena. The two states, both containing... -
Photoexcitation muon spectroscopy in the flourophore pyrene
The research within the MuSES project - photoexcited muon spectroscopy - is breaking new ground and is quite challenging. It is important to establish the technique methodology... -

Laser-induced electron transfer in Trp-Tyr
We wish to perform longitudinal field measurements on the dipeptide Trp-Tyr under laserexcitation, to probe the electron transfer process within the molecule. We have already... -
Singlet exciton fission and triplet exciton relaxation probed with photo-musr
Singlet exciton fission, a process whereby one high-energy singlet exciton is converted into two lower energy triplet excitons, is an excited state phenomenon with a potential... -
The electronic structures of the ground-state open-shell singlet di-radical m...
The di-radical (DR) that has an open-shell ground-state singlet, and an excited-state triplet, with a rather small energy gap between, has shown its outstanding performance in... -
Vibrations of a muoniated radical center and photochemistry in benzophenone
Benzophenone is an ideal material to study vibrations of a muon radical centre with near-IR laser light, as all C=O bonds in solid state are almost parallel to each other and it... -
