MuSR search for fluctuating loop currents in cuprates
The origin of a mysterious pseudogap region in high-Tc superconductors is a challenging issue. It was proposed that the pseudogap is caused by a circulating-current order... -
Chemical control of structures and properties of layered oxide chalcogenides
The crystal structures and magnetic ordering of layered compounds that have been modified by low temperature chemical methods will be probed using neutrons. The systems... -
Field-induced low-temperature magnetic phase in alkali-metal sesquioxides
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... -
Muon Spin Resonance investigations on two quantum critical points in CeFeAs1-...
Recently, it has been reported that CeFeAsO belongs to orthorhombic structure where both Fe and Ce moments order antiferromagnetically around 140K and 4K, respectively, whereas... -
Kinetics of Hydrogen Abstraction in Alkanes by Mu Reactivity studied by RF Re...
Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit... -
Spectroscopy of muon centres in n-type silicon carbide
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... -

The layered half-metal Co3Sn2S2 with a Kagomé lattice in the a-b plane has been recently discovered as a magnetic Weyl semimetal, whose Weyl nodes are only 60 meV above the... -
Multiferroic properties of organic ferroelectrics revealed using muons
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... -
Muon-spin rotation study of the in-plane magnetic penetration depth of \refraof
This is an extention of the previous proposal (RB920385), which was awarded 7 days.The experiment has not been performed yet (scheduled in November), but we forsee... -
Impurity-induced frustration in La2CuO4
We plan to investigate by means of zero-field muSR the doping dependence of the sublatticemagnetization in La2Cu1-xZnxO4 and in La2Cu1-xMgxO4. In both systems Cu2+ S=1/2 spins... -
Frustration-stabilized skyrmions in centrosymmetric compounds
Skyrmions are chiral magnetic spin textures that exist in a variety of different magnetic materials. Skyrmions are usually stabilized in noncentrosymmetric chiral materials by... -
