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... -
μSR Study of Superconductor Re2Hf and Re2Zr
Noncentrosymmetric superconductors are expected to exhibit a highly unconventional ground-state, which consists of an admixture of spin-singlet and spin-triplet Cooper pairs.... -
MuSR detection of optically-injected spin-polarized electrons in Silicon
Silicon is currently the base of all modern electronics and advanced computing. One route to future advanced computing called spintronics exploits the energy saving and quantum... -
Dilution-induced spin glass in Na2IrO3: a MuSR study
We plan to investigate Na2IrO3 samples with a partial substitution of Na by means of a transition metal element (the cases of TM = Co, Ni, Cu and Zn will be considered). The... -
Spectroscopy of muon centres in n-type silicon carbide
We propose to continue laser spectroscopy measurements of the muonium (Mu-) centres in n-type doped silicon carbide. Scanning a wide wavelength range, and changing the relative... -
An ALC study of the organic ferroelectrics TTF-CA and TTF-BA
The study of organic ferroelectrics based on mixed-stack charge-transfer salts is currently a rapidly developing research field. These materials attract interest as highly... -
Partitioning of lidocaine into a model lipid system using avoided level cross...
Drug design and development is a costly business with a high attrition rate. There are many reasons why a drug may fail to reach its target site of action but for those that... -
Investigating the effect of magnetic impurities on ALC resonances
This proposal aims to investigate the effect of magnetic impurities on the ALC resonance amplitude of an organic semiconductor (RRa-P3HT), to determine whether the effect can be... -
Spin correlations of a triangular-lattice quantum-spin-liquid candidate
A quantum spin liquid (QSL) shows no magnetic order down to zero temperature but the spins are highly entangled. More and more interests are attracted to 2D spin-1/2... -
Investigation of charge transfer in P3HT:PCBM under the condition of photoexc...
Alternative energy sources such as solar cells demand is rapidly increasing due to the limited amount of fossil fuels that exist and the rising amount of CO2 in the environment.... -
MuSR study on the hidden order in Irridates
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... -
Spin dynamics and magnetism in CeRh6(Ge1-xSix)4
In Ce-based heavy fermion materials, there is competition between the interactions which lead to a magnetically ordered arrangement of the Ce magnetic moments, and the... -
Muon spin relaxation study of the single crystals of rare-earth chalcogenides...
Exploring the exotic quantum phenomena and the related ground state of the frustrated quantum magnets has emerged as a forefront area of condensed matter physics. These... -
High Longitudinal Field Relaxation in LiYHoF4
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... -
Controlling superconductivity in layered lithium iron selenide hydroxides
Lithiation can be used to control the superconductivity in layered lithium iron selenide hydroxides, transferring iron from one layer (the lithium hydroxide layer) to the active... -
Investigating Superconductivity and charge density wave in 2H-PdxTaSe2
PdxTaSe2 series is an excellent system for the investigation of the interplay between CDW and superconductivity which shows quantum critical point for x = 0.1. Very recently, we... -
Muon Spectroscopy and Artificial Hydrogenases (RB920382)
The reversible interconversion of protons and dihydrogen is an electrochemical process of fundamental importance to a hydrogen economy. The process requires catalysis to proceed... -
A search for the muoniated hydroxyl radical, OMu
The elusive OMu radical is believed to be formed by muonium reaction with nitrous oxide but has never been directly observed. It would be invisible to transverse-field muon spin... -
Quantum Spin Liquid in triangular Seff=1/2 rare-earth based antiferromagnets
