RF MuSR in the gas phase: The Search for a Radical State (RB920227)
The main spectroscopic technique for studying radicals in solids and liquids, ESR, cannot usually be used to study radicals of more than 3-5 atoms in the gas phase due to strong... -
Exploring local ion diffusion dynamics in hydrated LiRAPs by muSR
Many of the devices currently used for energy storage (e.g., batteries, solar cells) use liquid electrolytes that are known to pose a serious fire and safety risk. In recent... -

The effect of porosity on sodium diffusion in hard carbons for Na ion batteri...
Here we propose to use muon spectroscopy to study the diffusion of sodium in hard carbon anode materials of various porosity for sodium ion batteries. Hard carbon is the most... -
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... -
Investigation of muonium diffusion, states and charge cycles in vanadium dioxide
We propose a study to characterize diffusive motion of muonium, charge cycles and Mu0 states in vanadium dioxide (VO2) using zero and longitudinal field muon spin depolarization... -
Quantum tunnelling of muonium via radical states in molecular solids
The extreme quantum nature of muons and muonium in condensed matter is the result of having a mass that is nine times lighter than that of a hydrogen atom. While this quantum... -
A second generation 2D antiferromagnet investigated with muons
Low-dimensional quantum magnetism continues to be of great theoretical and experimental interest, as reduced dimensionality supports strong quantum fluctuations which can result... -

The reversible interconversion of protons and dihydrogen is an electrochemical process of fundamental importance to a hydrogen economy. The process requires catalysis to proceed... -
Li diffusion in charged state Lix(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2
This proposal describes a muSR experiment on Li-deficient Lix(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 to determine a Li diffusion coefficient as a function of the Li content x, because muSR is a... -
Spin dynamics in the ground state of the multiferroic FeTe2O5Br and FeTe2O5Cl
Recently, we have found a new multiferroics material FeTe2O5Br, with simultaneous ferroelectric and incommensurate magnetic orderings appear at TN = 11 K. Our neutron... -
Spin Dynamics in a Quantum Pyrochlore Antiferromagnet
Frustrated compounds belonging to the pyrochlore family have attracted significant interest as they can host a huge variety of exotic phases. In order to explore the rich phase... -
Systematic Investigation of Magnetically Doped Toplogical Insulators
Topological insulators (TIs) are of inherent interest as they are conducting on the surface whilst insulating on the bulk. We would like to investigate magnetically doped... -
Probing the Magnetism and Suspected Quantum Fluctuations in Green Dioptase
It has been suggested that within green dipotase there the magnetism is dominated by quantum flucuations but evidence for this is not definitive. This means that in this... -
A GENERAL METHOD OF MEASURING ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY
Antioxidants are very important molecules because they can prevent or slow down the oxidative damage to our bodies. When our bodies use oxygen, free radicals are released which... -
Observation of hydrogen dynamics in hydrogen storage materials by muSR
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... -
