Potassium tetracyanoquinodimenthane (KTCNQ) undergoes a spin-Peierls (SP) transition at 396K where a transformation from uniform to dimerised TCNQ- molecules in 1D columns...

Magnetic cooling promises efficiency savings at room temperature but requires rapid cycling of a magnetic refrigerant in a magnetic field. Refrigerants with first order...

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...

Recently there has been an M(TCNQ)2, where M=Mn, Co, Fe and Ni, series synthesised where all samples formed a stochiometric glassy ferromagnetic salt. We have focused on the...

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...

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...

This is an in depth study of magnetic fluctuations and local field dynamics leading into the low temperature magnetic phase of Vanadium Oxide compounds (VO2, VO2:W and VO2:Ti)...

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...

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...

This experiment proposes the continuation of a study, initiated at J-PARC, on a new type of activated carbon material, with a pore structure and chemistry "tunable" in a manner...

Alternative energy sources such as solar cells demand is rapidly increasing due to the limited amount of fossil fuels that exist and the rising amount of CO2 in the environment....

We propose to study the evolution of ZF-muSR and low-field (100 G) TF-muSR spectra and relaxation times across the charge ordering temperature T0 = 140 K of RbFe2As2 iron based...

This proposal seeks to conduct total-scattering studies on thallium and caesium azides to investigate the effect of temperature on the atomic motions, particularly of the azide...

Low-dimensional quantum magnetism continues to be of great theoretical and experimental interest, as reduced dimensionality supports strong quantum fluctuations which can result...

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...

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...

Understanding of chemical reactivity is founded on the fundamental concepts of Electrophilicity and Neucleophilicity. All extant attempts to do this depend on the reaction of...

Our ability to control the synthesis of this kind of material has led to the development of a family of Ru-Ru-M-backbone organometallic compounds with general formula...

Ce-compounds are well known to present very rich physics and exotic electronic ground state due to the competing RKKY, Kondo and crystal field interactions. Recently CeRuPO...

The main purpose of this proposed experiment is to investigate the time scale of the dynamical spin equilibrium for the iron(III) site in (n-C2H5)4N[ZnIIFeIII(mto)3] (mto =...
