Single-Molecular Magnets (SMMs) provide access to the mesoscopic world. They possess slow magnetization relaxation due to an energy barrier induced by axial magnetic anisotropy,...

Skyrmions are chiral spin textures that exist in a variety of magnetic materials. These states are topologically non-trivial, which gives them stability expected to be useful...

Skyrmions are topologically protected vortex-like spin textures, and have been attracting increasing attention due to their potential technological applications for spintronics....

This experiment addresses the study of electron transport in zinc-hexadecafluoro-phthalocyanine (F16-ZnPc), a model n-type phthalocyanine employed in organic electronics, using...

Ce-compounds are well known to present very rich physics and exotic electronic ground state due to the competing RKKY, Kondo and crystal field interactions. Recently CeRuPO...

We propose a series of measurements to complete the previous direct spectroscopic measurements of the Muonium defect energy levels in Silicon Carbide (SiC; RB110134). We will...

Nearly all polymers form glasses and the glass transition at temperature Tg dominates many physical properties of polymers that are relevant for their applications. The most...

In this proposal, we wish to study the origin of the multiferroic nature in Sr4Fe2(CO3)O6. In the magnetization data, antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering appears at TN = 340 K and...

This proposal seeks to conduct total-scattering studies on thallium and caesium azides to investigate the effect of temperature on the atomic motions, particularly of the azide...

Ice VI is likely to be a major mantle mineral in the interiors of large icy moons in our solar system, and in large icy extrasolar planets. It is also a common accessory phase...

We have recently performed muon measurements on a member of a new class of multiferroic materials. We have shown that there is hysteretic behaviour to the internal field...

We propose to study the evolution of ZF-muSR and low-field (100 G) TF-muSR spectra and relaxation times across the charge ordering temperature T0 = 140 K of RbFe2As2 iron based...

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...

Here we propose to use muon spectroscopy to study the diffusion of sodium in hard carbon anode materials of various porosity for sodium ion batteries. Hard carbon is the most...

The study of organic ferroelectrics based on mixed-stack charge-transfer salts is currently a rapidly developing research field. These materials attract interest as highly...

This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-state configurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen...

Open p-shell anionic compounds are model systems where the interplay between charge, lattice, orbital, and spin degrees of freedom leads to complex magnetic behavior. In the...

We propose to carry out muon-spin relaxation to examine Li+ diffusion in AC-treated Li4Ti5O12 which contains a small amount of rutile TiO2. Measurements will be carried out over...

Despite many previous attempts, Sr4Fe6O12 (the expected fully reduced composition for Sr4Fe6O13-x) has not been synthesised. It is of interest because it is believed to contain...

Since 2009, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become a topic of immense interest in the research community, while performances of PSCs are in a position to challenge the...
