Spin Rotation Experiments at a Pulsed Muon Source using Broadband RF Pulses
In this proposal we wish to explore how the RF-MuSR technique might be developed for measurements akin to FT-NMR. Our work will focus on the broadband excitation of paramagnetic... -
Muon charactersiation of dielectric insulation system under applied electric ...
We plan to measure the electric field distribution in epoxy resin based dielectrics close to breakdown using muons to detect the free charge carriers that may contribute to... -
Understanding Li-Diffusion and Resultant Magnetism Within Li Intercalated int...
This study involves attempting to understand the Li atom diffusion within Li-intercalated hexagonal boron nitride. Muons present a significant advantage as they are sensitive to... -
Magnetic correlations in yttrium diluted Ho2-xYxTi2O7 spin ice.
Pure Ho2Ti2O7 exhibits spin ice beahviour. Studies of doped spin ice, replacing Ho with non-magnetic Y, suggest that the spin ice state is present even when the amount of doping... -
Spin Rotation Experiments at a Pulsed Muon Source using Broadband RF Pulses
In this proposal we wish to explore how the RF-uSR technique might be developed for measurements akin to FT-NMR. Our work will focus on the broadband excitation of paramagnetic... -
Spin relaxation of short-lived spin-labelled radicals in solution
The spin relaxation rates of free radicals in solution can provide valuable information about the dynamics of molecular tumbling in solution, and solvent-radical interactions.... -
DYNAMICS OF SURFACTANTS IN LUBRICATING OILS
In a recent series of successful experiments at PSI and ISIS we were able to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the rate of transfer of a small molecule (allyl alcohol)... -
Frustration, quantum spin ices and quantum diffusion
This proposal aims to characterise the spin dynamics of three Pr-based pyrochlores that may be realisations of quantum spin ice materials. The lower moment and larger wave...
