Microwave (MW) assisted chemical reactions are of interest as a green, energy efficient alternative to conventional thermal heating for chemical processes. MW irradiation...

The emerging field of organic spintronics is especially promising for new technologies, owing to the long spin coherence times, large flexibility and low production costs of the...

Potassium TCNQ is an stoichiometric organic based salt that undergoes a spin Peierls (SP) transition at approximately 390 K. Much research has been conducted on this system in...

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...

Dy2Ti2O7 is a pyrochlore antiferromagnet that has a partial magnetization plateau between 0.1 and 0.9T for magnetic fields applied along the [111] direction. This represents a...

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...

Spin ice materials exhibit novel magnetic behaviour because of their atomic interactions and geometric constraints of the crystal lattice. This novel behaviour takes the form of...

Previous uSR measurements on chemically produced graphene showed that, apart from a slowly relaxing graphite-like fraction, approximately 40% of the implanted muons are trapped...

An important element of the work associated with the current Framework Programme 7 Joint Research Activity (JRA) for muons is the development of gas sample pressure cells...

This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-state configurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen...

We wish to measure the ALCs of a series of polyacene molecules made of a different number of rings. We would like to identify the dependence of the electron spin relaxation rate...

Pyrochlore oxides of the type A2B2O7 (where A = trivalent rare earth, B = tetravalent transition metal element) can form geometrically frustrated magnets displaying a range of...

NaxC60 and LixC60 are wide theoretically studied systems for hydrogen storage. We recently investigated the hydrogen absorption/desorption of Na10C60 and we found that up to 3.5...

There is much debate about muon stopping sites within materials and in many cases knowing where the muon stops is crucial to understanding the physical properties of different...

We wish to measure the low-field ALCs of a series of related functionalised acenes to identify which mechanism (spin orbit or hyperfine) is responsible for spin relaxation in...

In physics, frustration describes a situation where a system is unable to satisfy all of its internal interactions because of the geometry of its atomic structure. The most...

The recently superconductivity in a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) crystal structure, A2Cr3As3 (R=K, Rb and Cs), have been intensively investigated both experimentally and...

In this proposal we intend to complete the characterization of the hydrogen impurity in solar cell materials Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) and Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS), by using the positive...

LaFeAs1-xPxO has recently been proposed to display unusual properties as a function of P doping with two distinct superconducting (SC) domes separated by a possible AFM phase as...

Gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) is a frustrated system which has already been successfully studied using muons. This study extends the earlier work to high magnetic field and...
