This proposal seeks to study three systems associated with heat-storage applications using in situ neutron powder diffraction. The first experiment will focus on a sample of...

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...

Oxyhydrides represent a new class of materials which is as yet poorly understood. The recent exciting discovery of the first purely hydride conducting oxyhydride is promising...

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...

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...

With increasing demands for high performance/capacity rechargeable batteries the materials science community is currently facing two severe issues. First of all there is from a...

Lithium-excess cathode materials can deliver high capacity and lead to high energy density. Lithium-excess cathode materials are categorized as “ordered” and “disordered” on the...

Experiment is proposed to identify magnetic polaron bound to the muon using RF-muSR. In recent experiment at TRIUMF magnetic polaron was found in transverse field and its...

When we know an intrinsic diffusion coefficient of Li-ion (D) in an ionic conductor, we could estimate a number of mobile Li ions, i.e. carrier density (n), from ionic...

Geometrically frustrated antiferromagnets RBa(Co/Fe)4O7 (R=rare earth or Y) exhibit a weak ferromagnetic component in the high-temperature spin-liquid phase. Based on a symmetry...

We wish to complete muon spectroscopic experiments on materials from a ceramic system of interest for possible solid electrolyte applications in lithium-ion battery devices:...

Li-ion technologies are at the forefront of energy storage applications, including automotive and stationary storage, to meet global demand. TiNb2O7 (TNO) has recently garnered...

In order to estimate a reliable reaction area (a_r) between cathode and liquid electrolyte in a Li-ion battery, we wish to propose a muSR experiment on a charged-state cathode...

The structure and dynamics of hydrogen (H) defects in tungsten recently become a topic of major interest since this metal has been chosen as shielding material for the next step...

This proposal describes a continuation muSR experiment on Li-Mn-oxides to see Li diffusion, because muSR is a powerful technique to detect it in the compounds containing...

Research on positive insertion electrodes for high performance batteries has seen immense interest in fluoride containing compounds, since higher operating potentials can be...

We found that muSR detects Li-diffusion in LixCoO2, LiNiO2, Lix(NiCoMn)O2 and LiFePO4 through a dynamic behavior of nuclear field relaxation. Very recently, we have also found...

Amorphous molecular magnetic materials Ni2(OA) (OA:organic acceptor) were reported to exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperatures >400K. This work is controversial as it...

We ask for 3 days on EMU to study the Muon spectroscopy of both LiBH4 and Ca(BH4)2 as a function of temperature from 90K-650K. These materials have been extensively...
