Is Ba2PrMoO6 a valence bond glass? A MuSR spectroscopic study
It has recently been proposed that Ba2YMoO6 is the first example of an exotic valence bond glass (VBG), which is characterized by an amorphous arrangement of spin dimers and... -
Iron-based superconductors with molecular spacer layers: probing Li diffusion...
All known iron-based superconductors comprise layers of FeAs or FeSe with some combination of group I, group II or lanthanide oxide layers, and usually some doping. To make... -
Layered Honeycomb Frameworks for Potassium-ion Battery Applications
Lithium (Li) ion batteries is the most common battery technology but lately also potassium (K) batteries are being considered. One reason is that the Li-reserves are limited and... -
Spin dynamics of the Heisenberg triangular antiferromagnet KCrO2
The members of the series ACrO2 (where A=Li, Na, K) comprise well-decoupled, highly ideal triangular planes containing isotropic spins. While the A=Li and Na materials have been... -
MUSR investigations of a new spin-1/2 kagome antiferromagnet Cu4(OH)6FCl
Recently, barlowite Cu4(OH)6FBr have been attracting much attention as a new kagome system with a Z2 topological order, which may yield spin liquid state at relative high... -
Magnetic properties of graphene
Magnetic properties of graphitic compounds are of current interest for both theoretical and experimental research in the fields of condensed matter physics and magnetism. In the... -
Time reversal symmetry breaking study of the superconductors YRuB2 and LuRuB2
In this proposal we suggest an investigation of the time reversal symmetry breaking in the superconducting compounds YRuB2 and LuRuB2 with orthorhombic structure (space group... -
Short range magnetic order in the compositionally modulated Bi2Cr4/3Ni2/3O6 p...
It is particularly challenging to synthesize a novel multiferroic material as it seems that the mechanisms that allow ferromagnets and ferroelectrics to work are mutually... -
A uSR Study of Non-Centrosymmetric Superconductor Re6 Hf
In conventional superconductors gauge symmetry is broken, while in unconventional superconductors other symmetries may also be broken. There has recently been a great deal of... -

Study of NH4+ mobility in ammonia borane, ammonium borohydride and methyl amm...
We request 5 days on EMU to study the NH4+ ion mobility in the light borohydride materials NH3BH3, NH4BH4 and CH3NH3BH4. As has been proposed by Stowe et al., during the... -
Probing the spin dynamics in the pseudo-quaternary Y1-xErxNi2B2C compounds
Our uSR measurements on superconducting Y1-xErxNi2B2C shows a slowing of the Er spin dynamics upon cooling to 2.5 K, but the depolarisation rate does not critically diverge and... -
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... -
Tuning the low-temperature magnetism of spin ice Dy2Ti2O7: Y-substitution and...
The spin ice compounds Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 have come to enormous attention in the past year with the observation of excitations resembling magnetic monopoles. Here we propose... -
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... -
Coupling of chains in a new, highly tuneable, isostructural series of model q...
Here we propose measurements on a unique, newly synthesized series of coordination polymers based on chains of Cu2+ ions. These have been designed with the intention of... -

Ternary compounds R5T4X10 crystallizing in primitive tetragonal structure (space group P4/mbm) present interesting physical properties. Of particular interests are the... -
In-situ hydrogen decomposition studies of ammonia borane and the diammoniate ...
Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. We have extensively studied the low temperature behaviour of this material This proposal asks for 3... -
Magnetic ordering in AgFBF4 a nearly perfect 1D AFM with huge intra-chain c...
We propose to investigate AgFBF4, a compound known for > 20 years, with muon spectroscopy. The scope is to determine the 3D ordering temperature as well as estimate the value...
