Low temperature magnetic order and spin dynamics in Ho2Ir2O7
Ho2Ir2O7 has a cubic pyrochlore structure. Trigonal crystal fields at both the Ho and Ir sites create Ising-like moments that can order in a non-collinear arrangement with... -
Probing the [FeFe]-hydrogenase subsite using muon spectroscopy
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... -
ALC spectroscopy of the molecule BEDT-TTF and some of its salts
The electron donor molecule BEDT-TTF (ET) provides a versatile building block for constructing molecular metals, superconductors, magnets and quantum spin liquids. A common... -
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... -

Muon spin relaxation will be used to study the dynamical properties of the polymer polydimethylsiloxane. This has emerged as an excellent model system for the study of polymer... -
Spin Rotation Experiments at a Pulsed Muon Source using Broadband RF Pulses
In this proposal we wish to explore how the RF-MuSR technique might be developed for measurements akin to FT-NMR. Our work will focus on the broadband excitation of paramagnetic... -
Investigation of magnetic defects in exfoliated graphite
Graphene has recently received widespread attention, after the discovery of its stability as a 2Dcrystal at ambient conditions and thanks to a wealth of possible applications.... -
RF-muSR in the gas phase: the muoniated ethyl radical
Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is an exceptional technique for studying free radicals, but it has not been applied to study radicals in the gas phase. In a previous... -

The TLL phase is a quantum spin condensed state in the one-dimensional system. In the case of DIMPY system which is a quasi-one-dimensional organic magnet, the TLL phase is... -
Artificial [FeFe]-Hydrogenases and Muon Spectroscopy
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... -
Ultrafast motion of molecular rotors in metal-organic frameworks: a muon-spin...
In recent years, amphidynamic crystals have gained more and more attention as a state of matter somehow intermediate between solids and liquids. In fact, although these systems... -
Probing the magnetic ground state in one dimensional magnetic systems Ba3CrS5...
Most of the one dimensional spin chain compounds are antiferromagnetic with a rich magnetic phase diagram due to the magnetic frustration. We have synthesized Ba3CrS5 and... -
Neutron scattering and muSR studies of magnetic phenomena in YFe2Al10: case s...
In strongly correlated electron systems, the proximity to magnetic ordering has been of special interest. Magnetism in this class of systems is often suppressed by the Kondo... -
Quantum spin liquids: beyond Herbertsmithite
We aim at exploring the ground state of new Cu2+ S=1/2 kagome compounds, isomorphic to the now-celebrated Herbertsmithite, namely CdCu3(OH)6Cl2 and MgCu3(OH)6Cl2. Due to the... -
Geometrical frustration induced magnetism in single crystal of CeIrSn: A Muon...
The quasi-kagome Kondo lattice CeRhSn exhibits quantum criticality induced by geometrical frustration. Divergent Grüneisen ratios provide evidence for a zero-field QCP. The... -
