Na-Ion Dynamics in the Solid Solution Battery Compound Ca1-xNaxM2O4 with M = ...
The compounds belonging to the series of TMOs NaM2O4 (M = Ti, V, Mn, Cr) share the same interesting properties: they are all Q1D metallic antiferromagnets with the Na ions... -
Magnetism in the martensitic phase of Ni2Mn1.4In0.6 and Ni1.8Co0.2Mn1.4In0.6 ...
We propose to solve the long standing controversy regarding the magnetic state of off-stoichiometric Heusler alloys Ni2Mn1.4In0.6 and Ni1.8Co0.2Mn1.4In0.6 at temperatures below... -
Spin Rotation Experiments at a Pulsed Muon Source using Broadband RF Pulses
In this proposal we wish to explore how the RF-uSR technique might be developed for measurements akin to FT-NMR. Our work will focus on the broadband excitation of paramagnetic... -
Neutron scattering of porous rocks subjected to uniaxial compression in cryog...
In August 2015, the oil and gas company (Royal Dutch Shell plc) were granted the final permit it needs to begin drilling below the ocean floor for oil in the Arctic. They have... -
High Field muon spin rotation studies in Ni-Mn-(Sn,In) based metamagnetic sha...
We have recently performed zero field muon spin rotation (muSR) studies of one the shape memory alloy Ni2.04Mn1.4Sn0.56 on EMU spectrometer at ISIS and the observed results are... -
Investigation of magnetic defects in exfoliated and ball-milled graphite
The recent interest in carbon-based materials like graphene stimulated a deeper analysis of the magnetism in graphite defects. In a previous µSR experiment we observed an... -
Frustration, quantum spin ices and quantum diffusion
This proposal aims to characterise the spin dynamics of three Pr-based pyrochlores that may be realisations of quantum spin ice materials. The lower moment and larger wave... -
Understanding the spin-Peierls Transition in KTCNQ and derivatives
Motivated by work showing that magnetic coupling between TCNQ anions in potassium TCNQ (KTCNQ) can be changed simply by changing the aromatic substituents, we seek to qunatify... -
Temperature Dependence Study of the Local Magnetic Behaviour in Fe3C-Filled N...
Recent research in to Carbon Nanotubes filled with magnetic materials has produced some interesting results that have the potential to bring about new computing technology. In... -
Investigation of the spin dynamics of Shastry-Sutherland phase in Ce2-xPd2+yI...
The Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL) can be described as a 2D square lattice built up from a network of dimers disposed orthogonally and has been observed in SrCu2(BO2)3.... -
Proposal to determine the origin of the effects of electric fields on the muo...
In the previous proposal we examined the ALC response of components of the complex dielectric under externally applied electric fields (EEF). We saw a shift in the asymmetry at...
