Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials. As we have recently demonstrated...

The system 1T-TaS2 is a charge density wave (CDW) insulator below 180 K that has one residual spin 1/2 for every 13 Ta atoms in the modulated CDW structure. These spins and...

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...

Pyrochlore magnets of formula R2Ti2O7 or R2Sn2O7 constitute the paradigm for geometrical frustration on a 3D lattice. Spinel compounds CdR2X4, where the R sublattice forms a...

Nonmagnetic impurity substitutions impact on superconducting properties in various ways depending on the pair-breaking mechanism. The aim of the proposed experiment is to...

Antioxidants are very important molecules because they can prevent or slow down the oxidative damage to our bodies. When our bodies use oxygen, free radicals are released which...

The molecular magnetic system Mo3S7(dmit)3 is a semiconductor with a charge gap of around 100 K and no magnetic transition or spin freezing down to 2 K. In the crystal structure...

Geometrical frustration conspiring with quantum fluctuations in low-dimensional antiferromagnets has been demonstrated over the past years to lead to novel quantum states in...

Muon nuclear quadrupolar level crossing resonance is not a well-known technique, however it is extremely powerful. There is a large interest in probing the muon stopping site...

Our susceptibility studies of the frustrated magnet Yb2Sn2O7 has revealed a spin glass transition of the Yb3+ magnetic lattice at T_g = 140 mK. To our knowledge, this...

Tb2Ti2O7 is one of two compounds identified as potential quantum spin ices. As with other oxide pyrochlores the properties depend sensitively on the oxygen stoichiometry. Most...

Quadrupolar level crossing resonance (QLCR) occurs in the muSR of solids with diamagnetic muon states in close proximity to quadrupolar nuclei. This effect provides uniquely...

There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters...

Our ability to control the synthesis of this kind of material has led to the development of a family of Ru-Ru-M-backbone organometallic compounds with general formula...

A magnetic response of the alkali-metal superoxides comes from the p-orbital S = 1/2 spins of anionic O2- molecules. As the O2- molecules are highly reorientable and the...

Nearly all polymers form glasses and the glass transition at temperature Tg dominates many physical properties of polymers that are relevant for their applications. The most...

Our first completed photo-musr experiment on 6,13-bis(tri-iso propylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS-Pn) has recently been accepted for publication. We observed a significant...

LiOsO3 is a very unusual metallic ferroelectric. This experiment aims to distinguish between two contrasting possibilities for the ground state of this material which can be...

The most successful recipe to date for making a quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a triangular lattice of molecular-dimer radicals tuned to behave as a weak Mott insulator. Two...

We propose to microscopically study the role of defects on spin transport in one of the best approximations to the ideal antiferromagnetic Heisenberg s = ½ chain. By measuring...
