Muonium in widegap oxides
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... -
Spin glass behaviour in the disorder-free geometrically frustrated magnet Yb2...
Our susceptibility studies of the frustrated magnet Yb2Sn2O7 has revealed a spin glass transition of the Yb3+ magnetic lattice at T_g = 140 mK. To our knowledge, this... -
Study of the dependence of electron spin relaxation on molecule length in acenes
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... -
STUDY OF THE INTERACTION OF HYDROGEN IN METAL DECORATED FULLERENE
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... -
Utilising Quadrupolar Level Crossing Resonance to Gain Important Information ...
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... -
Identifying the mechanism behind spin relaxation in organic materials
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... -
Relaxation plateau in the breathing pyrochlore antiferromagnet LiIn0.05Ga0.95...
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... -
Investigation of the reduced dimensionality and magnetic frustration in ACr3A...
The recently superconductivity in a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) crystal structure, A2Cr3As3 (R=K, Rb and Cs), have been intensively investigated both experimentally and... -
Spin dynamics in CP*-RE-COT
Single-Molecular Magnets (SMMs) provide access to the mesoscopic world. They possess slow magnetization relaxation due to an energy barrier induced by axial magnetic anisotropy,... -

In order to detect oxygen diffusion in electrolyte materials in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, we here want to propose a muSR experiment on three oxide electrolytes exhibitng good... -
Auger recombination in low temperature silicon measured by photo-MuSR technique
We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30... -
Magnetic properties of photomagnetic molecular square complexes
This experiment aims at studying the magnetic behaviour of the molecular square complex {[Fe{B(pz)_4}(CN)_3]_2[Co(bik)_2]_2}(ClO_4)_2 . 3H_2O [B(pz)_4 = tetrapyrazolylborate,... -
End-Game: Cornering Solvent Effects on H-Addition in Green Tea Anti-Oxidants
Our ongoing project to characterise radical scavenging by the green tea anti-oxidant EGCG and its D-ring analogue, (3,4,5-(OH)3-Bz) is near-complete. ALC-MuSR experiments on the... -
Multiferroicity in metal-formate perovskites
Recent work has revealed that metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can also exhibit this multiferroicity. These materials are particularly interesting since their structures are... -
Carrier density in novel Li ionic conductors studied with muons
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... -
Muon Spin Relaxation studies of Ni(TCNQ)2
Molecular ferromagnets offer great potential as they are synthesized at low temperatures and offer the possibility functionalization. Ni(TCNQ)2 is such a molecular ferromagnet,... -
