The fcc polymorph of the hyperexpanded fulleride Cs3C60 can be driven to a bulk suprconducting state without symmetry change by the application of pressure. Its Tc passes...

Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit...

The fcc polymorph of the hyperexpanded fulleride Cs3C60 can be driven to a bulk suprconducting state without symmetry change by the application of pressure. Its Tc passes...

We aim at exploring the ground state of new Cu2+ S=1/2 kagome compounds, isomorphic to the now-celebrated Herbertsmithite, namely CdCu3(OH)6Cl2 and MgCu3(OH)6Cl2. Due to the...

It is well known that an S = 1 antiferromagnetic spin chain is predicted to have a quantum disordered ground state and a gap in its excitation spectrum. This so-called Haldane...

We have been recently successful in isolating the fcc polymorph of the key hyperexpandedfulleride Cs3C60 - this phase can be driven from an insulating to a bulk suprconducting...

FCC Cs3C60 can be driven to a bulk superconducting state without symmetry change by the application of pressure. Its Tc passes through a maximum of 35 K at 6 kbar. We have been...

This proposal plans to investigate the superconducting ground state of LaNiGa2 which is a centrosymmetric superconductor with a superconducting transition of ~2K. Heat capacity...

Tb2Ti2O7 is a pyrochlore antiferromagnet that has previously been viewed as a spin liquid. This description fails to describe key features of its physics and more recently the...

The Mn6 single molecule magnet shows to date the highest anisotropy barrier for a transition metal cluster. Low lying excited states in the energy level diagram of the molecule...

Coexistence of charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity (SC) is a long standing puzzle in condensed matter physics. LaPt2Si2 exhibits CDW transition at 112 K followed by...

The first experiment we propose is a search for a shallow-donor signal for muonium in indium oxide. Its observation would test our assertion, based on our measurements of...

Strong spin-orbit coupling often leads to exotic properties in otherwise a well understood pool of 'paramagnetic' heavy ion oxides. For a 5d4 system a J=0 total angular momentum...

Superconductivity was recently discovered in alpha-phase FeSex with a Tc of 8 K. Selenium can be replaced with Tellurium (FeSe1-xTex) and this results in an increase in Tc to 15...

An important element of the work associated with the current Framework Programme 7 Joint Research Activity (JRA) for muons is the development of gas sample pressure cells...

ZrB12 is a cluster boride compound which is superconducting at 6K although the source of the pairing interaction appears to come from the Zr ions with the boron acting as a...

We propose a study of Mu dynamics and the low temperature Mu$^0$-like states in TiO$_{2}$ under near-IR illumination to investigate the resulting excitonic states and behaviour....

In this proposal we propose to continue our investigation into the LaNiC2 non-centrosymmetric superconductors. Previously, we have shown that in this system time reversal...

We have obtained a LSCOO x = 0.06 single crystal where neutron diffraction shows field induced anti-ferromagnetic order with an onset field in the range 0-1T and increasing...

Due to a strong competition between other groups doing muSR study, we are submitting this proposal as a Rapid proposal. Recently, Wang et al. found the first nitrogen-containing...
