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,... -
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... -
Investigation of spin-glass behaviour in the cubic compound PrRhSn3 using muSR
Recently we have investigated the cubic compound PrRhSn3 using the dc and ac susceptibilities and the heat capacity. We found an evidence for the cluster-glass behavior with a... -
The XY pyrochlore AFM:spin dynamics upon rare-earth dilution in Er2Ti2O7 (CON...
Er2Ti2O7 constitutes an experimental realization of the <111> easy-plane pyrochlore AFM and orders at 1.1 K into the theoretically predicted spin structure. However, the... -
Towards a validated standard method for performing DFT calculations of muoniu...
In this proposal we want to address the issue of the identification of the different muonium adducts that are possible in Alq3 without any crystallographic constraints, and... -
Probing the magnetic ground state in one dimensional magnetic systems Ba3CrS5...
Most of the one dimensional spin chain compounds are antiferromagnetic with a rich magnetic phase diagram due to the magnetic frustration. We have synthesized Ba3CrS5 and... -
Spin fluctuations in the hyperkagome quantum antiferromagnet Na4Ir3O8
Spins arranged on the kagome lattice are one of the most widely investigated topics in frustrated magnetism. In this context, the three-dimensional analogue of these systems,... -
μSR studies of magnetism in alkali-doped polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
Superconductivity with Tc=33 K has been reported in alkali-doped polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The compositions and structures are unknown owing to the multiphase nature and... -

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... -
Short-range magnetic correlations in Er(Ni,Cu)Al
The intermetallic alloys RNiAl and RCuAl have been of high interest for several years. They crystallize in the hexagonal structure (ZrNiAl-type) and form various and complicated... -
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... -
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,... -
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... -
