µSR investigation of NaxLi12-xC60
An economy based on hydrogen as an energy carrier is one of the most promising solutions against the greenhouse effect problem, due to the large amount of energy produced by the... -
Muon probes of hydrogen-bond network in supercooled water
Muon diamagnetic fraction in liquid water is known to decrease with decreasing temperature probably because its formation mechanism results from the structural alternation and... -
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... -
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... -

Photoinduced carrier lifetime in silicon: E-field application for carrier sep...
This continuing experiment is proposed based on our previous experiment RB1510208, which we have carried out just recently. The experiment successfully observed the lifetime of... -
µSR study of mixed intercalated phases NaxLi6-xC60
Alkali-cluster intercalated fullerides (LixC60, NaxC60) proved to be suitable materials for solid state hydrogen storage. In these compounds the hydrogen is chemically absorbed... -
A GENERAL METHOD OF MEASURING ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY
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... -
Investigating Magnetic Ordering in Ba2MnWO6 and Sr2MnWO6
Cubic double perovskites provide a rare example of an undistorted face-centred cubic lattice, made up of edge sharing regular tetrahedra. In Ba2MnWO6, antiferromagnetically... -

Muon spin relaxation is a remarkably powerful tool for discovering magnetic order in quasi-one-dimensional magnetic chain compounds, particularly when the weak interchain... -
Spin dynamics in the quantum spin ice state of Yb2Ti2O7
We propose to carry out a muSR study of the spin dynamics in two single crystal samples of Yb2Ti2O7. Both samples are notionally stoichiometric but they have been prepared using... -
Probing the [FeFe]-hydrogenase using muon spectroscopy
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... -
Investigation of the re-entrant spin glass component and the anomalous Hall e...
Fe3Sn2 is a rare example of an itinerant frustrated ferromagnet (Tc = 640K), with a non-collinear spin structure. It shows a large anomalous Hall resistivity in a low field of... -
Muons for Energy Nanonics
In order to improve the performance of future energy devices, nano-structured materials is one of the most promising routes. LiFePO4 is a commercial battery cathode material... -
Magnetic Charge Transport in Spin Ice
The transport of electrically charged quasiparticles plays a pivotal role in modern technology. In contrast, the transport of magnetic charges has barely been explored... -
