Muons for Energy Nanonics
LiFePO4 (LFP) is a commercially applied cathode material for lithium ion batteries. With its Li ion hopping predominantly occurring along one-dimensional channels, LFP is a very... -
Observation of hydrogen dynamics in hydrogen storage materials by in situ muS...
This proposal describes an in situ muSR experiment on a hydrogen storage material, MgH2. This is because MgH2 attracts a special attention due to the fact that the hydrogen... -
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... -

Na ion diffusion in clays for nuclear waste management
Clays are porous materials and planned to be used as barrier material in radioactive waste repositories. In this context understanding of water and solute diffusion on different... -
Spin-orbit transitions in CoV3O8
Strong orbital mixing resulting from local distortions in the crystal field can mix higher energy orbital states with the ground state. We propose to characterise this mixing in... -
Spin Dynamics in the isotopically enriched spin ice 162Dy2Ti2O7
In an attempt to study the dynamics of Dy2Ti2O7 measured using muons we have made a sample of 162Dy2Ti2O7 where the 161 and 164 isotopes are reduced to a minimum (max. 0.6% of... -
MuSR studies of Alpha-Mn2-xCrxO3(x=0 and 10 %)
MuSR is useful technique/probe in studying small magnetic moment and also identifying magnetic order (short-range or long-range) in a magnetic material.Earlier report on neutron... -
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... -
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... -
Magnetic properties of Graphene
This year Nobel Prize award to the discovery of graphene has evidenced the relevance of this material, which has outstanding physical properties and promising technological... -
Magnetic order in Metamagnetic Shape Memory Alloys: a muon study
Metamagnetic Shape Memory Alloys (MMSMAS) undergo a martensitic transformation which is accompanied with a large drop in magnetization on cooling, making the low temperature... -
Interfacial transfer in an Anionic Surfactant Micelle
Surfactants are used in everyday cleaning products. In the absence of oil (grease) and above a critical concentration the surfactant forms a micelle. Often fragrances are added... -
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... -
The Magnetic Behaviour of LaCo0.75Mn0.25O3
Significant numbers of studies have been performed on the cobaltate and manganate perovskite systems. These are as a result of complex competition between lattice, charge, spin... -
Muon states and diffusion in alkali halides
The diamagnetic states formed by muon implantation in alkali halides are to be characterised, and their diffusion studied, by means of RF final-state analysis. The 90° pulse... -
Magnetic structures of antiferromagnetic heavy fermion CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 co...
CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 compounds crystallize in the tetragonal I4mm, BaNiSn3-type and display interesting bulk properties. Here we propose to investigate the magnetic structures of... -
Investigation of Magnetic Fields in ZnGeP2:Mn
We propose an investigation of the magnitude and fluctuations of internal magnetic fields in Mn-doped ZnGeP2. This chalcopyrite structured semiconductor has a ferromagnetic (FM)...
