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... -
Chasing the hydrogen-saturated defects in tungsten with Muon spectroscopy
The structure and dynamics of hydrogen (H) defects in tungsten recently become a topic of major interest since this metal has been chosen as shielding material for the next step... -
Probing Spin dynamics of candidate Quantum Spin Liquid Y2CuTiO6
Quantum spin liquids (QSL) are the materials, which does not show any magnetic ordering down to the absolute zero temperature. In our project we are trying to explore the fact... -
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.... -

The nature of excitations in a molecular Haldane system
It is well known that an S = 1 antiferromagnetic spin chain is predicted to have a quantum disordered ground state and a gap in its excitation spectrum. This so-called Haldane... -
Determining the spin gap in TiPO4
We propose to determine the spin gap in TiPO4, to do this we will carry out a zero-field temperature scan from 5 to 150 K and anticipate focusing our measurements on the region... -
Dynamics of Perfluoroalkanes and Polytetrafluoroethylene
In this experiment we will use the F-mu+-F state as a window into the dynamics of perfluoroalkanes and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) at the molecular level. We will investigate... -
Is there magnetic order in intrinsically frustrated rare earth bilayer alumin...
Compounds with formula R2SrAl2O7 (R=rare earth) look superficially similar to the well-known bilayer manganites, but here the perovskite bilayers contain Al and are nonmagnetic.... -
Fluctuating stripes in an insulating hole-doped antiferromagnet
In a recent letter to Nature, Boothroyd and coworkers have shown that the well known hour-glass spectrum, previously observed in some cuprate materials, occurs in a hole doped... -
Novel Mixed Valence Transition-Metal Fluoride Phases
Complex transition metal fluorides are of increasing interest to the solid-state chemistry and physics communities due to the diverse range of physical properties they exhibit.... -
Possible muon diffusion in frustrated magnets
Recent investigations into spin ice suggest excitations that behave like magnetic monopoles, this has included a transverse field muon experiment. When zero field muon... -

muSR studies of expanded fullerides across the superconductivity dome
FCC Cs3C60 can be driven to a bulk superconducting state without symmetry change by the application of pressure. Its Tc passes through a maximum of 35 K at 6 kbar. We have been... -
Non-equilibrium effects in the skyrmion material Co8Zn8Mn4
Skyrmions are topologically protected, vortex-like nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials. As we have recently... -
Spin dynamics in the light induced high spin state of valence tautomers
Valence tautomers are bistable molecules of potential interest for magnetic storage and spintronic devices which can be switched between a low-spin and a high-spin state by... -
Spin Frustration in Iridate Systems, and the Role of the Spin-Orbit Coupling
We propose to investigate the roles of the spin-orbit interaction and geometrical frustration in stabilising a quantum spin liquid phase (QSL) in some iridate systems. µSR is a...
