Graphite has been the first material ever studied by µSR, but a comprehensive scheme to understand its behaviour still lacks. In particular it is not properly known if and how...

Antioxidants are receiving increased attention for their potential effects in the prevention of chronic and degenerative diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease as...

We propose to examine the microscopic dynamic properties of a class of solid ion conductors known as ?plastic crystals?. The name ?plastic? reflect the ability of these...

Geometrically frustrated antiferromagnets RBa(Co/Fe)4O7 (R=rare earth or Y) exhibit a weak ferromagnetic component in the high-temperature spin-liquid phase. Based on a symmetry...

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...

Gaining control of the building blocks of magnetic materials will enable the design and growth of bespoke magnetic devices. However, the ability to tune the magnetic...

We propose to measure the spin wave dispersion and intensities throughout the Brillouin zone of the single layer half-doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4, whose ground state has the...

Energy storage with increased density is required for electronic devices, electric vehicles, and smart grids. Current lithium ion battery technology utilizes cathodes with high...

We wish to complete muon spectroscopic experiments on materials from a ceramic system of interest for possible solid electrolyte applications in lithium-ion battery devices:...

LiFePO4 (LFP) is a commercially applied cathode material for lithium ion batteries. With its Li ion hopping predominantly occurring along one-dimensional channels, LFP is a very...

We propose to perform a neutron inelastic scattering study on the anisotropic triangular lattice system beta-NaMnO2. This work will be an extension of our previous study on...

Magnetic cooling has recently become the focus of cooling system technology as it boasts important advantages in terms of power consumption and for the environment e.g. not...

Intense research activity is underway to understand the interaction between ferromagnetic (FM) and superconducting (SC) layers in oxide FM/SC multilayers, where FM and SC layers...

The iron-based superconductors are at the forefront of the research on unconventional superconductivity. The Barium-122 systems, doped with electrons, reveal a non-trivial...

By means of a positive muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu+SR) technique, we have investigate Li and Na ion diffusion in many battery materials. Among them, it was found that...

Li-ion technologies are at the forefront of energy storage applications, including automotive and stationary storage, to meet global demand. TiNb2O7 (TNO) has recently garnered...

Vanadium oxides have attracted considerable attention, not only due to their potential technological applications, but also because of the rich variety of structures and...

In order to estimate a reliable reaction area (a_r) between cathode and liquid electrolyte in a Li-ion battery, we wish to propose a muSR experiment on a charged-state cathode...

Only a few elements are ferromagnetic and the most common are iron, cobalt and nickel. These elements satisfy a condition, called the Stoner criterion, which determines whether...

The structure and dynamics of hydrogen (H) defects in tungsten recently become a topic of major interest since this metal has been chosen as shielding material for the next step...
