Using muon spin relaxation and ALC resonance spectroscopy, the electron spin relaxation and mobility of the polymer P3OT will be determined. P3OT differs in structure to P3HT...

Nitrous oxide, N2O, is an inhalant anaesthetic with a long history of use dating back to 1844. It is most commonly used as a light sedative in dentistry, or in child birth and...

The extreme quantum nature of muons and muonium in condensed matter is the result of having a mass that is nine times lighter than that of a hydrogen atom. While this quantum...

We have observed an anomalous monotonically increasing longitudinal field relaxation rate in LiY_(1-x)Ho_xF_4 for applied fields above 1000 G (along the c-axis) and at a...

The new molecular magnet bis(2,3-dimethylpyridinium) tetrabromocuprate (DIMPY) is a strong-leg spin ladder with a quantum critical point at 3.0(3) T separating a low-field...

Avoided level crossing muon spin resonance (ALC-muSR) is an exceptional tool for determining the structure and probing the dynamics of radicals but there have been only a few...

We plan to confirm that the change in asymmetry on resonance in the ALC spectra seen in the subject complex dielectric during the previous rapid access proposal (RB1900028) is a...

The [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes are some of the best catalysts know for generating hydrogen. We have an ongoing programme to understand how their chemistry works, and to...

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....

In a previous experiment (RB910492) we have made preliminary measurements of the rates of addition of muonium to vitamins C and E, as suggested by the ISIS panel. These rates...

Repolarisation and level crossing resonance will be studied for several different oxalate compounds where muon radical states are known to be formed. Such compounds form a...

Preliminary measurements of [FeFe]-hydrogenase model complexes were made in a previous experiment using EMU (RB 1010177). The results were interpreted in combination with DFT...

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¿...

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...

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...

The electron donor molecule BEDT-TTF (ET) provides a versatile building block for constructing molecular metals, superconductors, magnets and quantum spin liquids. A common...

Previous ALC measurements of the Fe2(pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2 and [Fe2(pdt)(CO)4(CN)2]2- (referred to as 1 and 2) model hydrogenase subsites have yielded some intriguing results (RB...

In order to meet the UK's commitment to reduce 80% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, it is necessary make major advances in efficient, clean and secure energy conversion and...

During our previous experiment on HiFi (RB1320541) we measured the ALC spectrum of the Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2 model hydrogenase complex over multiple temperatures. The spectra...

Antioxidants are very important molecules because they can prevent or slow down the oxidative damage to our bodies. When our bodies use oxygen, free radicals are released which...
