Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,...

The response of the magnetic ordering of layered cobalt oxide chalcogenides to changes in electron count will be investigated in detail following a preliminary experiment at...

Au4V is an extremely unusual alloy. Neither Au nor V is generally found to carry a magnetic moment in the metallic state, yet the body-centred tetragonal (bct), structurally...

This study involves attempting to understand the Li atom diffusion within Li-intercalated hexagonal boron nitride. Muons present a significant advantage as they are sensitive to...

The superconductivity is a very important quantum phenomenon occurring in many materials. However the microscopic origin of it is still not completely understood and is one of...

Amongst layered materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are studied extensively due to their complex phase diagrams exhibiting competing phases. Intercalation...

Single crystal, bulk Si1-xGex alloys are available across the alloy composition range, and provide opportunity for study of alloy properties in transition between the two...

The Sr3CuPtxxIr1-xO6 system has been considered to be a candidate random quantum spin chain. (RQS). For x=1 adjacent S=1/2 Cu2+ions are antiferromagnetically (AF) coupled to...

In the present proposal, we would like to investigate beta-Li2IrO3, a 5d based hyper-honeycomb system, where strong Kitaev-type anisotropy of magnetic couplings triggers a...

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,...

Recently a handful of non-centrosymmetric Ce-based HF compounds with general formula CeTX3 (T=transition mental and X=Si or Ge) have been reported to exhibit superconductivity...

Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) are molecules that display slow relaxation of their magnetisation. We have designed a new class of mononuclear lanthanide SMMs, where the...

Polymeric solar cells are a promising alternative for producing clean and renewable energy due to the possibility of fabricating them onto large areas of lightweight, flexible...

The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic...

We plan to study the non-thermal microwave (MW) effects on H2O2 through its reaction with muonium under MW irradiation. The key objectives are 1) for the first time definitively...

Pd-Ag alloys find technological applications in H uptake and purification. Among various peculiar properties, their electric resistivity variation as a function of the H loading...

We propose a detailed study of the motional dynamics of Mu and the low temperature Mu0-like states in anatase and rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). An initial study on only rutile...

Properties of graphene that make it an important material are its exceptionally high conductivity, massless fermions and a high velocity of electrons near the Dirac points....

The proposal is to measure the low-energy spin dynamics of the ferromagnetic superconductor UGe2 at the pressure which maximizes superconducting transition temperature and at...

This experiment is focused on exploring and harnessing magnetic ground state of the multiferroic materials, with particular emphasis on the hexagonal (h), rare-earth ferrites...
