Investigation of the effect of increased spin-orbit coupling on the performan...
We wish to perform PNR measurements on organic spin valve devices to assess the effect on the device performances of the spin relaxation mechanisms related to spin-orbit... -
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.... -
Superconductivity induced changes in the ferromangetic order of Y(1-x)PrxBa2C...
By polarized neutron reflectometry we want to investigate the magnetic field profile in Y(1-x)PrxBa2Cu3O7/La(2/3)Ca(1/3)MnO3 high-Tc superconductor/ferromagnet superlattices. In... -
Spin Coherent Transport in Organic Spin-Valves
We have recently performed a `proof-of-principle' Low Energy Muon Spin Rotation experiment on an organic spin valve. In an extension to our muon measurements and an attempt to... -
Electron Spin Relaxation Measurements of P3HS
Using muon spin relaxation and ALC resonance spectroscopy the electron spin relaxation and mobility of the polymer P3HS will be measured as a function of temperature. The... -
In-situ neutron diffraction investigation of the BCC and FCC Oxide Dispersion...
ODS alloys are currently considered as one of the most promising nuclear materials for high-temperature applications in the ¿Generation-IV Nuclear Reactors¿. The proposed... -
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¿... -
Electron Spin Relaxation Studies In the 5,7-Br/Cl/I Substituted Aluminium- Hy...
We have recently performed high field ALC measurements on the polycrystalline Metal Tris(Hydroxy-quinolate), MQ3, series in order to further investigate the intrinsic electron... -
characterisation of muonium in functionalized acenes
We wish to measure the high field ALCs of a series of related functionalised acenes, to understand the role of the ligands on the electron spin relaxation, which is of... -
Magnetic structure and multiferroicity in metal-formate perovskites
The family of guanadinium metal formates (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) are isostructural with the perovskites and are therefore of interest for potential applications: in particular,... -
Detailed temperature dependence of the low-field ALC in TMS-Pentacene
We wish to investigate the evolution of the low-field ALC peaks with temperature of TMS-Pentacene, so we can extract the temperature dependent electron spin relaxation rate. Our... -
The search and optimisation of Delta0 resonances in TIPS-Pentacene in solution
To the best of our knowledge, there is no previous work on using muons to measure photo-excited states in organic semiconductors or related materials. Our photo-excitation ideas... -
The search for ALC resonances in TRP-TYR: pioneering spatial and temporal res...
Electron transfer (ET) processes in peptides and proteins are key steps in the functioning of several natural enzymes including DNA photolyase and ribonucleitide reductase,... -
Magnetic excitations and quasi-1D to 3D crossover in the metal-organic framew...
The metal-organic framework (MOF) guanadinium copper formate is of interest in the quest towards rational design of multiferroic MOFs. It exhibits cooperative Jahn-Teller...
