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...

We intend the measure the neutron reflectivity of a purely magnetic interface generated at a ferromagnetic/antiferromagnet phase boundary within an FeRh epilayer, a material...

This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-state configurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen...

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...

Recently there have been many reports on how high-temperature sodium order and dynamics in NaxCoO2 (NCO) can strongly influence both the electronic & magnetic properties at...

Lithium diffusion in magnetic materials is found to be well detected by muon-spin spectroscopy. However, such a diffusive behavior has been measured without potential gradient,...

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...

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...

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...

In order to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, and to meet the UK's commitment of a reduction of 80% by 2050, it is necessary to make major advances in efficient, clean and...

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...

Ni2Mn1+pZ1-p (Z= In, Sn, Sb and < p 1) based ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) with Heusler type structure are fascinating materials as far as the magneto-functional...

Fuel-cell cars are expected to be an ultimate solution for accommodating clean environments with convenient personal transport system. In order to make fuel-cell cars more...

Organic semiconductors have been of major interest in recent years. Amplified by the transition from fundamental physics to new commercial products and technologies, this new...
