RF decoupling of the F-mu-F state
NMR has become an extremely sophisticated experimental technique because of the use of pulse sequences which allow the control and manipulation of a nuclear spin system or... -
Muon spin relaxation study of a novel frustrated system: Li7RuO6
Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground... -

Search for monopoles in spin ice via the exterior field distribution
Bramwell et al. have provided an elegant demonstration of dynamics in magnetic monopoles in spin ice measured by muons implanted inside the sample. However, it is likely that... -
The use of magnetic contrast layers for neutron reflectivity to investigate n...
The search for new clever ways to deliver drugs, which often are not possible to dissolved in water, has lead to the development lipid based small particles. These particles can... -
Observation of the spin dynamics anomaly originating from the Griffiths singu...
The muSR experiments on a diluted Ising antiferromagnet HoxY1-xRu2Si2 are proposed for aiming verification of the Griffiths singularity. In preceding neutron scattering and muSR... -
Probing the products of free radical reactions in ionic liquids
Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical... -
