Motion of Diamagnetic Muonium Centres in II-IV-V2 Chalcopyrites
We propose to obtain the detailed temperature dependent diffusion characteristics for diamagnetic muonium defect centres, assumed to be a 'bare' muon, in selected members of the... -
Magnetic correlations and possible quantum ground state in a pyrochlore osmate
Magnetic order is a property of crystalline materials which contain systems of coupled magnetic moments. In materials known as geometrically frustrated magnets there exist... -
ALC studies of solid benzene
For muoniated radical spectroscopy studies, benzene has long been the classic prototype system. However most of these studies have been at higher temperatures, often in the... -
Cyclic Processes in Mid-Range SiGe Alloys
We propose longitudinal muon spin depolarization measurements to extract the energy for the T-site Mu acceptor level in mid-range SiGe alloys where a direct determination of the... -
MuSR search for fluctuating loop currents in cuprates
The origin of the pseudogap region below a temperature T* is at the heart of the mysteries of high-Tc cuprate superconductors.The proposed broken time-reversal and inversion... -

Kinetics of Hydrogen Abstraction in Butane by Mu Reactivity
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... -
Dynamical disorder or incipient nano-ferroic distortions in CaSnO3 perovskite?
It has always been assumed that CaSnO3 perovskite remains orthorhombic (Pbnm) as a function of temperature up to its melting point, and is rather unremarkable in many ways.... -
Excited/Ground State of Kekulé di-radical Material Bisphenalenyl
Kekulé di-radical (KDR) with two radical centers of independent spins has a low-spin ground state (singlet S0 with antiparallel spins), and interestingly high-spin triplets (T1)... -
RF μSR in the gas phase: understanding a ¿null¿ result
We have made a significant effort to develop Radio Frequency μSR (RF μSR) as a technique for spectroscopy of organic radicals in the gas phase. Realising this method... -
