We propose a study to characterize diffusive motion of muonium, charge cycles and Mu0 states in vanadium dioxide (VO2) using zero and longitudinal field muon spin depolarization...

We propose to make the first detailed structural study of some polymorphs of gallium oxide that remain poorly characterised and yet have applications in catalysis and are used...

This proposal describes a muSR experiment on Li-deficient Lix(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 to determine a Li diffusion coefficient as a function of the Li content x, because muSR is a...

The overall aims of our project is to advance the performance of NIBs in terms of energy and power density by creating a closed-loop approach for materials design,...

Hydrogen storage materials with a low working temperature are strongly required for the application of the next generation on-board hydrogen storage system. Among several...

The goal of this experiment is to better understand the molecular dynamics in polystyrene in order to shed light on the discrepancy between beta-NMR and low-energy muSR...

We propose a continuation of longitudinal muon spin depolarization measurements on mid-range SiGe alloys where a direct observation of T-site ionization is not possible because...

An all solid state lithium ion battery (SSLIB) has an advantage in electrical capacity compared to the popular lithium ion battery (LIB) using a liquid electrolyte. However, a...

In centrosymmetric heavy-fermion (HF) superconductors Cooper pairs have either singlet or triplet symmetry. Recently a handful of non-centrosymmetric Ce-based HF compounds have...

Continued investigation of magnetic fluctuations in the Mn-doiped chalcopyrite semiconductor ZnGeP2 is proposed using LF-MuSR depolarization rates. Due to ferromagnetism above...

The origin of the Invar effect, whereby certain ferromagnetic alloys exhibit near zero thermal expansion around room temperature is still not properly understood. Although the...

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...

Many of the devices currently used for energy storage (e.g., batteries, solar cells) use liquid electrolytes that are known to pose a serious fire and safety risk. In recent...

Here we propose a u+SR investigation on the solid solution Cax-1NaxCr2O4, a Q1D zigzag chain compound where Na+ ions are allocated in the hexagonal one-dimensional channels...

Ni-Mn based Heusler alloys with composition related to the stoichiometry Ni2MnX, with X belonging to the IIIA-VA chemical species, are widely considered as a class of...

In this proposal we intend to complete the characterization of the hydrogen impurity in solar cell materials Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) and Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS), by using the positive...

We would like to propose a continuation experiment on Li-ion battery cathode material, Li(Ni,Co)O2. In previous experiments in 2013 and 2014, we attempted muSR technique to...

Hydrogen storage is a significant area of energy materials research and there have been extensive efforts into the discovery and development of lightweight materials. Although...

We propose to obtain the temperature dependence of the diamagnetic spin-precession amplitudes up to 1100 K for the three electrical types of 4H-SiC in order to extract the Mu...

Research on positive insertion electrodes for high performance batteries has seen immense interest in fluoride containing compounds, since higher operating potentials can be...
