Recent advances in energy materials have led to the development of high capacity insertion cathodes for Li-ion batteries. One of the most promising of these materials is lithium...

We aim to perform zero and longitudinal field muon spin relaxation measurements in order to investigate anomalous spin dynamics effects observed in EuFe2(As1-xPx)2 with x=0.20...

In this experiment we propose to perform diffraction on isotopically substituted samples of Ca/Yb:ND/H3 and Ca/Yb:15ND3 at two concentrations (8 and 2 MPM) using the new NIMROD...

The goal of this experiment is to better understand the molecular dynamics in polystyrene in order to shed light on the discrepancy between beta-NMR and low-energy muSR...

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...

Proton-conducting polymer membranes have significant technological applications in hydrogen or methanol fuel cells. muSR can shed light on the mechanisms for proton transport in...

The relative importance of factors affecting the low temperature ALC spectra of organic molecular systems such as polymers and small molecules is a topical issue. Polybutadiene...

We have recently synthesised the novel iridocuprate IrSr2Sm1.15Ce0.85Cu2O10. This material exhibits a complex temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility with multiple...

Superconductivity was recently discovered in alpha-phase FeSex with a Tc of 8 K. Selenium can be replaced with Tellurium (FeSe1-xTex) and this results in an increase in Tc to 15...

The work will aim to use the unique property of muons, as sensitive probes of their local magnetic environment, to investigate the source of the electronic magnetism observed in...

The first experiment we propose is a search for a shallow-donor signal for muonium in indium oxide. Its observation would test our assertion, based on our measurements of...

This proposal describes a muSR experiment on Li-deficient Lix(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 to determine a Li diffusion coefficient as a function of the Li content x, because muSR is a...

Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit...

We have observed an anomalous monotonically increasing longitudinal field relaxation rate in LiY_(1-x)Ho_xF_4 for applied fields above 1000 G (along the c-axis) and at a...

We have recently performed muon measurements on a member of a new class of multiferroic materials. We have shown that there is hysteretic behaviour to the internal field...

As a consequence of cation disorder, the compound La3Ni2SbO9 behaves as a new type of magnetic material, a "relaxor ferromagnet", somewhat analogous to a relaxor ferroelectric,...

Recently the 5d transition metal oxide Sr2IrO4 has attracted much attention due to its close analogy with high-Tc cuprates. A hidden broken symmetry phase, which is similar to...

Recently, it has been reported that CeFeAsO belongs to orthorhombic structure where both Fe and Ce moments order antiferromagnetically around 140K and 4K, respectively, whereas...

This is an in depth study of magnetic fluctuations and local field dynamics leading into the low temperature magnetic phase of Vanadium Oxide compounds (VO2, VO2:W and VO2:Ti)...

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...
