Muon states and diffusion in alkali halides
The diamagnetic states formed by muon implantation in alkali halides are to be characterised, and their diffusion studied, by means of RF final-state analysis. The 90° pulse... -
Muonium in cubic stabilized zirconia
This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-stateconfigurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen in... -
Green vs Black Tea Anti-oxidant Potency as a Function of Fermentation Complet...
Since ancient times it has been known that using boiling water to prepare tea ¿burns¿ the brew destroying the teas flavours & beneficial nutrients. One aspect of a ¿burnt¿... -
Capture and isolation of radicals by green tea antioxidants
Molecular modelling suggests that the antioxidant molecule EGCG "folds up" around the radical it captures, and therefore should shield the spin density from the environment.... -
Muonium in rare-earth sesquioxides
We propose to characterize the basic muonium/hydrogen configurations in selected rare-earth sesquioxides with the basic crystallographic structures: neodymium oxide (hexagonal A... -
Investigating the muon radical in Sulphur
Recent muon level-crossing measurements in the stable orthorhombic alpha-phase of sulphur indicate the existence of a radical state, with an interesting temperature evolution.... -
Donor muonium state in rutile titanium dioxide
Rutile titanium dioxide is one of the most relevant oxide materials, where the impurity physics of hydrogen has recently been devoted much attention. Existing ab-initio... -
Muonium in widegap oxides
This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-state configurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen... -
High Longitudinal Field Relaxation in LiYHoF4
We have observed an anomalous monotonically increasing longitudinal field relaxation rate in LiY_(1-x)Ho_xF_4 for applied fields above 1000 G (along the c-axis) and at a... -
A search for the muoniated hydroxyl radical, OMu
The elusive OMu radical is believed to be formed by muonium reaction with nitrous oxide but has never been directly observed. It would be invisible to transverse-field muon spin... -
Muon states in black phosphorus
Our recent experiment showed that muons implanted into black phosphorus (the most stable allotrope of the element, with a low band gap of 0.3eV) are apparently diamagnetic, with... -
Manipulation of Quadrupole Resonance Level Crossing in MuonSR by Rf irradiati...
Muon interactions with quadrupolar nuclear spins have occasionally been studied by theirlevel crossing resonance spectra. In an ideal case the quadrupole resonance level... -
Electron polarisation of deep muonium states
Following recent experiments in which the shallow donor muon states in semiconductors are found to have significant electron polarisation at low temperatures and high fields, we... -
Muonium in widegap oxides
This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-state configurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen... -
Separating static and dynamic contributions to the muon relaxation in Ca3(Co,...
Ca3CoMnO6 has alternating ions in ferromagnetic Ising chains that are antiferromagnetically coupled on a triangular lattice and realizes an important model in frustrated... -
Does the muon reach thermal equilibrium in a frustrated magnet?
The usual assumption that the muon's polarisation relaxes to zero at long times may be incorrect at high B and low T: for 5T and 30mK the Brillouin function gives P=49%. We plan... -
Magnetic properties of photomagnetic molecular square complexes
This experiment aims at studying the magnetic behaviour of the molecular square complex {[Fe{B(pz)_4}(CN)_3]_2[Co(bik)_2]_2}(ClO_4)_2 . 3H_2O [B(pz)_4 = tetrapyrazolylborate,... -
Studies of magnetic polaron formation in EuS via RF-µSR
Experiment is proposed to identify magnetic polaron bound to the muon using RF-muSR. In recent experiment at TRIUMF magnetic polaron was found in transverse field and its... -
Electron polarisation in CdS and CdTe
At low temperatures and high magnetic fields, the electron in a muonium or radical state may be polarised if it has an opportunity to reach thermal equilibrium. Such a... -
Muonium in alpha-boron
Previous muon experiments have identified a muonium state in the commonly occuring, but complex, beta rhombohedral form of elemental boron. To complement recent theoretical work...
