We plan to measure the hyperfine constants for both the muon and the equivalent hydrogen atom in a small muonated radical using time-differential ALC. We will follow this as a... -
The superconducting properties of a spin-3/2 superconductor
In all known superconductors, the supercurrent is carried by Cooper pairs which consist of spin-1/2 quasiparticles in either spin-singlet (the usual case) or spin-triplet (the... -
Investigation of Magnetic Fields in ZnGeP2:Mn
We propose an investigation of the magnitude and fluctuations of internal magnetic fields in Mn-doped ZnGeP2. This chalcopyrite structured semiconductor has a ferromagnetic (FM)... -
Investigation of the re-entrant spin glass component and the anomalous Hall e...
Fe3Sn2 is a rare example of an itinerant frustrated ferromagnet (Tc = 640K), with a non-collinear spin structure. It shows a large anomalous Hall resistivity in a low field of... -
Magnetic Order in Orbitally Ordered PbRuO3 (RB920270)
The electronic properties of the second and third row transition metal oxides are traditionally thought to be dominated by the width of the 4d or 5d valence band, which reduces... -

We aim at performing temperature (2-300K) and magnetic field (0-5T) dependent muon SR on a 1X1 cm2 mosaic, made of 4* 5x5x2 mm3 TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 single crystals (largest area... -
A muon coherent quantum resonance with I > 1/2 nuclei in A15 compounds
The implanted muon can form a quantum-coherent resonant state when sandwiched between two I=1/2 fluorine ions, where I is the nuclear spin. This state has usually only been for... -
