µSR investigation of NaxLi12-xC60
An economy based on hydrogen as an energy carrier is one of the most promising solutions against the greenhouse effect problem, due to the large amount of energy produced by the... -
The search and optimisation of Delta0 resonances in TIPS-Pentacene in solution
To the best of our knowledge, there is no previous work on using muons to measure photo-excited states in organic semiconductors or related materials. Our photo-excitation ideas... -
Tuning the low-temperature magnetism of spin ice Dy2Ti2O7: Y-substitution and...
The spin ice compounds Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 have come to enormous attention in the past year with the observation of excitations resembling magnetic monopoles. Here we propose... -
Coupling of chains in a new, highly tuneable, isostructural series of model q...
Here we propose measurements on a unique, newly synthesized series of coordination polymers based on chains of Cu2+ ions. These have been designed with the intention of... -

Shiomi et al. have prepared a nitronyl nitroxide radical-based compound which has a chiral packing of the molecular units. This is the first discovery of a purely organic chiral... -
Motion of Positively Charged Muonium Centres in Transparent Conducting Oxides
We propose further zero-field muon spin depolarization measurements at temperatures above 300K in order to determine barriers for thermal diffusion of positively charged muonium... -
Single molecular TIPS-pentacene isolated in a solid-state matrix
We have recently been awarded beamtime on the Cronus spectrometer, via the Riken proposal system, to investigate the possibility of performing solid-state laser excitation... -
Probing the local magnetic structure and magnetic ground states in strongly s...
Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has often lead to exotic properties in otherwise banal pool of 'paramagnetic' heavy ion oxides. In this context d4 Ir systems are exciting... -
Investigating Magnetic Ordering in Ba2MnWO6 and Sr2MnWO6
Cubic double perovskites provide a rare example of an undistorted face-centred cubic lattice, made up of edge sharing regular tetrahedra. In Ba2MnWO6, antiferromagnetically... -

Investigation of the Evolution of Broken Time Reversal Symmetry in Pr1-xNdxOs...
PrOs4Sb12 is a 1.85 K superconductor. Its superconductivity shows unconventional behavior, and the originating mechanism remains unknown. One characteristic is an internal... -
Spin dynamics in the quantum spin ice state of Yb2Ti2O7
We propose to carry out a muSR study of the spin dynamics in two single crystal samples of Yb2Ti2O7. Both samples are notionally stoichiometric but they have been prepared using... -
