Recent advances in energy materials have led to the development of high capacity insertion cathodes for Li-ion batteries. A relatively new, yet attractive material is nickel...

We propose to use muons to probe the diffusion processes which occur within a battery anode during cycling in an all solid-state battery. Such solid-state battery configurations...

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)...

We propose a study to characterize diffusive motion of muonium, charge cycles and Mu0 states in vanadium dioxide (VO2) using zero and longitudinal field muon spin depolarization...

We propose to study the crystal structure of the inverse spinel Li3CrV2O8 using variable temperature powder neutron diffraction. By conducting these neutron experiments, we will...

We propose to make the first detailed structural study of some polymorphs of gallium oxide that remain poorly characterised and yet have applications in catalysis and are used...

This proposal describes a muSR experiment on Li-deficient Lix(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 to determine a Li diffusion coefficient as a function of the Li content x, because muSR is a...

The overall aims of our project is to advance the performance of NIBs in terms of energy and power density by creating a closed-loop approach for materials design,...

Our recent experiment showed that muons implanted into black phosphorus (the most stable allotrope of the element, with a low band gap of 0.3eV) are apparently diamagnetic, with...

The work will aim to use the unique property of muons, as sensitive probes of their local magnetic environment, to investigate the source of the electronic magnetism observed in...

We propose to measure the inelastic scattering S(Q,E) maps from gallium in its liquid phases across a wide range of temperatures. This proposal is based on a new prediction for...

Hydrogen storage materials with a low working temperature are strongly required for the application of the next generation on-board hydrogen storage system. Among several...

The goal of this experiment is to better understand the molecular dynamics in polystyrene in order to shed light on the discrepancy between beta-NMR and low-energy muSR...

We propose a continuation of longitudinal muon spin depolarization measurements on mid-range SiGe alloys where a direct observation of T-site ionization is not possible because...

Scandium fluoride has recently been identified as a very simple example of a material showing negative thermal expansion over a wide range of temperatures. In particular, it...

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...

More than four decades ago A. F. Andreev predicted theoretically the existence of quantum statesof 3He atoms on free surface of liquid 4He . In other words, at low temperatures,...

Recent advances in energy materials have led to the development of high capacity insertion cathodes for Li-ion batteries. One of the most promising of these materials is lithium...

Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when...
