Muon spin relaxation study of Halden like spin chains in Layered Li3Cu2SbO6
A large variety of exotic magnetic structure and relevant magnetic properties is observed in honeycomb layered oxides. Recently Koo et al. have observed two magnetic... -
Muon Spin Relaxation and ALC Resonance in Magnetic and non-Magnetic Oxalate S...
Repolarisation and level crossing resonance will be studied for several different oxalate compounds where muon radical states are known to be formed. Such compounds form a... -
Probing spin-fluctuations in the ordered phase of (Nd1-xCax)2Ir2O7 by means o...
Nd2Ir2O7 stands out as a fascinating system among pyrochlore iridates because of its potential for realizing a new topological semimetal state which its emergence strongly... -
Models of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase active site: high symmetry in a biologically...
The [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes are some of the best catalysts know for generating hydrogen. We have an ongoing programme to understand how their chemistry works, and to... -
How complex is complex: an ALC study of a 10-mer helical peptide chain
There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters... -
Is there a hidden Magnetic Order in KxRb2-xV8O16?
KxRb2-xV8O16 are series of hollandite compounds exhibiting a quasi 1D structure. In such systems, the formation of the magnetic ground state originates from a dominant... -
Spin dynamics in the light induced high spin state of valence tautomers
Valence tautomers are bistable molecules of potential interest for magnetic storage and spintronic devices which can be switched between a low-spin and a high-spin state by... -
Studies of the Strongly Correlated Metal Yb4LiGe4
The intermetallic family R5T4 (R = rare earth, T = Si or Ge) exhibit a wide range of magnetic phenomena (eg., magnetic order, GMR, and enhanced magnetocaloric effect) which are... -
Muon level-crossing resonances as a probe for studying antiferromagnets at pu...
We propose a set of measurements using the HiFi spectrometer in which muon level-crossing resonances are used to probe the internal field inside antiferromagnets in which the... -
Spin Frustration in Iridate Systems, and the Role of the Spin-Orbit Coupling
We propose to investigate the roles of the spin-orbit interaction and geometrical frustration in stabilising a quantum spin liquid phase (QSL) in some iridate systems. µSR is a... -
Exploring the Magnetic Behaviour of New S = 1/2 Vanadium Oxyfluoride Kagome A...
Quantum spin liquid (QSL) states emerge when the arrangement of magnetic moments in a material frustrates magnetic interactions and low spin magnetic moments allow for strong... -
MuSR study to investigate a small moment magnetic ordering in Ce(Os1-xIrx)2Al...
Our muSR study on Ce(Os1-xFex)2Al10 with x=0.4, which reveals long range magnetic ordering below 24K from the heat capacity, shows unexpected behaviour. The muSR spectra only... -

The quasi 1-D magnets ANiCl3: A = Cs, Tl, order magnetically in two steps. A partially ordered state between TN1 and TN2 and a fully magnetic ordered state below TN2. RbNiCl3... -
Probing glassy magnetic transitions in structurally disordered (defect fluori...
Cubic A2B2O7 oxides with A standing for a rare-earth element and B for a transition or main block metal have been systematically studied for their frequently exotic... -
RF MuSR in the gas phase: the Search for a Radical State
The main spectroscopic technique for studying radicals in solids and liquids, ESR, cannot usually be used to study radicals of more than 3-5 atoms in the gas phase due to strong... -
Muon Spin Depolarization Study of Magnetism in Mn-doped ZnGeP2
We propose a MuSR study of the magnetism in Mn-doped ZnGeP2 during this round of experiments using muon spin depolarization measurements in a longitudinal magnetic field. This... -
A survey of skyrmions
Skyrmions are topological excitations that exist in a variety of magnetic insulators. Here we propose to complete our previous experiment (RB1320198) with the aim of producing a... -
Probing superconductivity, static magnetism and light ion diffusion in molecu...
In 2012 we demonstrated that molecular spacer layers could be intercalated in between FeSe layers resulting in a dramatic enhancement of the critical temperature: FeSe is itself... -
Quantum magnetism in copper-oxalate networks ranging from isolated triangles ...
The oxalate ligand provides a flexible way of constructing metal organic framework systems based on metallic ions such as Cu and their structures can be finely tuned via careful... -
