Hydrogen storage materials with a low working temperature are strongly required for the application of the next generation on-board hydrogen storage system. Among several...

In this proposal we are planning to study free radicals (molecules with unpaired electrons) and interactions of charged species in solids under microwave irradiation. The study...

Solid state repolarisation measurements of [Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2] (RB 1010177) showed a weak recovery at ca.15G, a strong recovery at ca.100G and what was thought to be a weak...

Microwave (MW) assisted chemical reactions are of interest as a green, energy efficient alternative to conventional thermal heating for chemical processes. MW irradiation...

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...

We plan to perform transverse field and zero-field μSR experiments to investigate the temperature dependence of the relaxation rate in the superconducting phase of...

CuTCNQ (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane) is material which exhibits electrical resistive switching at 300K and has two structural forms (I and II), each with very...

Potassium TCNQ is an stoichiometric organic based salt that undergoes a spin Peierls (SP) transition at approximately 390 K. Much research has been conducted on this system in...

An all solid state lithium ion battery (SSLIB) has an advantage in electrical capacity compared to the popular lithium ion battery (LIB) using a liquid electrolyte. However, a...

Dy2Ti2O7 is a pyrochlore antiferromagnet that has a partial magnetization plateau between 0.1 and 0.9T for magnetic fields applied along the [111] direction. This represents a...

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...

Spin ice materials exhibit novel magnetic behaviour because of their atomic interactions and geometric constraints of the crystal lattice. This novel behaviour takes the form of...

The discovery of unconventional superconductivity (SC) in several heavy fermion (HF) compounds has attracted considerable attention. Recently we have investigated CeTSi3 (T=Rh...

An important element of the work associated with the current Framework Programme 7 Joint Research Activity (JRA) for muons is the development of gas sample pressure cells...

In centrosymmetric heavy-fermion (HF) superconductors Cooper pairs have either singlet or triplet symmetry. Recently a handful of non-centrosymmetric Ce-based HF compounds have...

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...

Our susceptibility studies of the frustrated magnet Yb2Sn2O7 has revealed a spin glass transition of the Yb3+ magnetic lattice at T_g = 140 mK. To our knowledge, this...

We wish to measure the ALCs of a series of polyacene molecules made of a different number of rings. We would like to identify the dependence of the electron spin relaxation rate...

Pyrochlore oxides of the type A2B2O7 (where A = trivalent rare earth, B = tetravalent transition metal element) can form geometrically frustrated magnets displaying a range of...

Rcently the NFL behaviour near an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point (AFQCP) has been investigated extensively. Very recently, we have investigated, for the first time,...
