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...

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...

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...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

In condensed matter physics, a little frustration can make materials interesting. This is because that the presence of competing forces, which cannot be simultaneously...

Cubic A2B2O7 oxides with A standing for a rare-earth element and B for a transition or main block metal have been systematically studied for their frequently exotic...

U2Pt2Sn crystallizes in the tetragonal Zr3Al2-type structure (P42/mnm, Z = 4), where uranium atoms occupy two different sites. Our measurements of bulk properties have shown...

The quasi 1-D magnets ANiCl3: A = Cs, Tl, order magnetically in two steps. A partially ordered state between TN1 and TN2 and a fully magnetic ordered state below TN2. RbNiCl3...

Our muSR study on Ce(Os1-xFex)2Al10 with x=0.4, which reveals long range magnetic ordering below 24K from the heat capacity, shows unexpected behaviour. The muSR spectra only...

We propose to investigate the roles of the spin-orbit interaction and geometrical frustration in stabilising a quantum spin liquid phase (QSL) in some iridate systems. µSR is a...

There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters...

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...

Repolarisation and level crossing resonance will be studied for several different oxalate compounds where muon radical states are known to be formed. Such compounds form a...
