We propose to carry out μSR measurements of the BaFe2Se2O Mott insulator material in order to understand the nature of its magnetic order. Magnetisation measurements on...

A new magnetic Weyl semimetal was recently proposed in the layered half-metal Co3Sn2S2 with Kagomé lattice,whose Weyl points situate only 60 meV from the Fermi energy, resulting...

In the 5d layered perovskite material, Sr2IrO4, spin orbit coupling and strong electron correlations combine to give rise to a spin-orbit coupled Mott insulator, with a...

It is proposed to use TF muSR to study the low temperature, low field part of the phase diagram of Ba3CuSb2O9, a system with a uniform triangular lattice of S=1/2 Cu ions that...

The intermetallic alloys RNiAl and RCuAl have been of high interest for several years. They crystallize in the hexagonal structure (ZrNiAl-type) and form various and complicated...

The overall aims of our project is to advance the performance of NIBs in terms of energy and power density by creating a closed-loop approach for materials design,...

In this proposal we propose to continue our investigation into the LaNiC2 non-centrosymmetric superconductors. Previously, we have shown that in this system time reversal...

In order to improve the performance of future energy devices, nano-structuring materials is one of the most promising routes. LiFePO4 is a commercial battery cathode material...

Lithium-excess cathode materials can deliver high capacity and lead to high energy density. Lithium-excess cathode materials are categorized as “ordered” and “disordered” on the...

We propose to investigate the spin fluctuations in a candidate S=5/2 Kagome lattice. Previous neutron diffraction has found that RbFe2F6 maybe a good realization of a Kagome...

The usual assumption that the muon's polarisation relaxes to zero at long times may be incorrect at high B and low T: for 5T and 30mK the Brillouin function gives P=49%. We plan...

Organic semiconductors have been of major interest in recent years. Amplified by the transition from fundamental physics to new commercial products and technologies, this new...

With increasing demands for high performance/capacity rechargeable batteries the materials science community is currently facing two severe issues. First of all there is from a...

Fuel-cell cars are expected to be an ultimate solution for accommodating clean environments with convenient personal transport system. In order to make fuel-cell cars more...

Research on positive insertion electrodes for high performance batteries has seen immense interest in fluoride containing compounds, since higher operating potentials can be...

We propose to obtain the temperature dependence of the diamagnetic spin-precession amplitudes up to 1100 K for the three electrical types of 4H-SiC in order to extract the Mu...

In order to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, and to meet the UK's commitment of a reduction of 80% by 2050, it is necessary to make major advances in efficient, clean and...

Hydrogen storage is a significant area of energy materials research and there have been extensive efforts into the discovery and development of lightweight materials. Although...

Most of Nd-pyrochlores show all-in-all-out long-ranged order ground state at low temperatures. Recently unconventional slow spin dynamics are reported in the paramagnetic state...

Oxyhydrides represent a new class of materials which is as yet poorly understood. The recent exciting discovery of the first purely hydride conducting oxyhydride is promising...
