Quantum phase transitions (QPT's) are phase transitions that are driven by zero-temperature quantum fluctuations, and are accessed by varying a non-thermal control parameter....

The kappa structural phase of BEDT-TTF salts incorporating various anions X provides an extremely interesting series of layered-structure strongly-correlated materials, whose...

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...

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...

Materials containing triangular structures of magnetic moment are an important pathway to studying unconventional magnetic phenomena that arise from the geometrical frustration....

Geometrically frustrated magnetic systems have been widely studied in the search for novel quantum states of matter. The fcc lattice Ba2YMoO6 has been shown to be a valence bond...

We aim to explore the groundstate of a new near-perfect S=1/2 kagome antiferromagnetic (KAFM) system using MuSR at the lowest possible temperatures. The title compound is...

LiZn2Mo3O8 is a highly unusual geometrically frustrated material: the magnetic moments are associated not with single ions but with small transition-metal clusters. The spin is...

Extreme muon quantum effects will be studied in the simple organic molecule acetone using ALC spectroscopy to determine the quantum averaged hyperfine parameters of the state...

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,...

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are intriguing states of matter in which quantum fluctuations are sufficiently strong to destroy any long-range magnetic order. To date, one of the...

We propose to investigate the effects of the electron- phonon interaction on the time reversal symmetry breaking phenomenon of non-cetrosymmetric superconductors. μSR is...

Recently, Eckert and co-authors synthesised osmium based two superconductors, NbOsSi and TaOsSi, and found that these compounds exhibit superconductivity below a transition...

Rare-earth delafossites were recently proposed as promising candidates for the realization of an effective S = 1/2 quantum spin liquid on the triangular lattice [1, 2]. In...

Pyrochlore magnets are one of the cornerstones of frustrated magnetism, with two interpenetrating lattices of corner-sharing tetrahedra on which magnetic ions can be placed. By...

This is a continuation proposal describing an "in situ" muSR experiment on hydrogen storage materials. For the two previous beam-time allocated for RB1510262 and RB1520259, we...

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 frustrated pyrochlore Er2Ti2O7 is a rare example of a magnetic system in which quantum fluctuations are capable of selecting a unique ground state out of the macroscopically...

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...
