Muon spin dynamics in ZnSe
We intend to detail the muonium dynamics and investigate the interaction with charge carriers in n-type ZnSe. A doped ZnSe sample (resistivity=10^4 Ohm.cm, n=10^13 cm^-3) is... -
Quantum spin ice physics in Pr-based pyrochlores
In order to explore quantum spin ice physics, we wish to focus on the non-Kramers Pr-based pyrochlores with general formula Pr2M2O7 (M =Sn, Zr, Hf). There is a recent... -
Tunneling and relaxation of the magnetization in Mn6 single molecule magnet
The Mn6 single molecule magnet shows to date the highest anisotropy barrier for a transition metal cluster. Low lying excited states in the energy level diagram of the molecule... -
Muon Spin Relaxation Investigation of Mixed Cation Perovskite Solar Cell Mate...
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a new generation of solar technology which has shown huge promise with regards to performance, but still suffers from several flaws preventing... -
Characterising Early Iron Age Indian Iron Smelting Technology: neutron analysis
Recent archaeological research, supported by radiocarbon dates, indicates that iron production in India can now be dated to the earlier part of the 2nd millennium BC, pre-dating... -
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... -
Models of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase active site: raising the symmetry
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... -
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... -
Probing lithium diffusion in mechanochemically-synthesised ternary lithium ha...
In the current work, we study inorganic solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. These materials, unlike the traditional liquid electrolytes, could lead to a... -
Partial freezing of a Kagome Magnet
Ever since the first published consideration of the ground state of a triangular lattice of Ising spins by PW Andersen in the 50's, the pursuit of materials with geometrically... -
Using muons to investigate the excitation spectrum in low-dimensional molecul...
We propose to use longitudinal field muon-spin relaxation to investigate the excitation spectrum of the most successful realizations of one- and two-dimensional antiferromagnets... -
Muon Studies of Ion Diffusion in Single-Crystal Photovoltaic Materials
In recent years, the family of lead halide perovskite materials (e.g. MAPbI3) has attracted substantial interest due to their unique combination of properties and potential... -
Muon response to changes in the charge distribution of the components of a co...
We plan to confirm that the change in asymmetry on resonance in the ALC spectra seen in the subject complex dielectric during the previous rapid access proposal (RB1900028) is a... -
Magnetic Properties of Functionalized Graphene
Recently, we have shown that if the graphene lattice is doped with sulphur, ferromagnetism can emerge once the doping threshold level is overcome [10]. In particular, graphenes... -
Low Temperature Study of the Cluster Glass Phase in Ni(TCNQ)2
Recently there has been an M(TCNQ)2, where M=Mn, Co, Fe and Ni, series synthesised where all samples formed a stochiometric glassy ferromagnetic salt. We have focused on the... -
Probing Li+ diffusion mechanics in NCA nano and bulk materials
Recent advances in energy materials have led to the development of high capacity insertion cathodes for Li-ion batteries. A relatively new, yet attractive material is nickel... -

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... -
Understanding the spin-Peierls Transition in KTCNQ and derivatives
Motivated by work showing that magnetic coupling between TCNQ anions in potassium TCNQ (KTCNQ) can be changed simply by changing the aromatic substituents, we seek to qunatify... -
In-operando diffusion measurements on an all-solid-state battery cell
We propose to use muons to probe the diffusion processes which occur within a battery anode during cycling in an all solid-state battery. Such solid-state battery configurations...
