We propose a series of LF-MuSR measurements to complete a study on the neutral and diamagnetic muonium (Mu) states in single-crystal beta-Ga2O3 where Mu is being used as an...

BeO is a promising material in order to improve HfO2-based MOSFET devices, and a candidate substitute of HfO2 as high-k gate material. The electrical properties of BeO can be...

Magnetic skyrmions are vortex-like objects characterised by an integer topological winding number. They have been observed in the spin structures of several magnetic materials...

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...

We propose to characterize the basic muonium/hydrogen configurations in selected rare-earth sesquioxides with the basic crystallographic structures: neodymium oxide (hexagonal A...

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...

The research and development of Lead Halide perovskite solar cells are one of the most rapidly growing research areas. Since the discovery of these organic-inorganic metal...

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...

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...

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...

The reversible interconversion of protons and dihydrogen is an electrochemical process of fundamental importance to a hydrogen economy. The process requires catalysis to proceed...

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...

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...

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

Since the discovery of the iron-pnictides superconductors most of the efforts has been devoted to the study of the fundamental questions concerning the coexistence of magnetism...

BiCoO3 is a perovskite type material recently prepared by high pressure-high temperature synthesis in Kyoto. It has a distorted acentric perovskite structure with order of high...

Carbon nanostructures presenting charge-transfer behavior (e.g. fullerene) can display high affinity to hydrogen and are promising materials for reversible hydrogen storage....

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

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...
