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...

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...

In the past years we have developed a method measuring carrier recombination lifetime in semiconductors using the photo-MuSR setup in HIFI. These studies have focused on...

Encouraged by many unconventional magnetic properties in the magnetically frustrated spin-chain compounds of the type A3MM'O6, we have recently synthesized a new member...

We have obtained a LSCOO x = 0.06 single crystal where neutron diffraction shows field induced anti-ferromagnetic order with an onset field in the range 0-1T and increasing...

We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30...

Experiment is proposed to identify magnetic polaron bound to the muon using RF-muSR. In recent experiment at TRIUMF magnetic polaron was found in transverse field and its...

Low temperature embrittlement of stainless steels is due to phase separation and in this proposal we will further investigate the underlying mechanisms for phase separation....

We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30...

In 2005 we carried out muon spin relaxation (muSR) experiments in Pr(Os1-xRux)4Sb12 alloys at KEK, Tsukuba, Japan, to investigate the time-reversal symmetry breaking found in...

Discrete energy level form in quantum mechanical systems and if carefully measured the population density of the levels can be probed and manipulated. The consequence of this...

Using the Emu spectrometer at ISIS we have recently studied charge carrier transport in the technologically important molecule 8-hydroxy-quinoline aluminium, by probing the...

Antioxidants are receiving increased attention for their potential effects in the prevention of chronic and degenerative diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease as...

Organic ferroelectric compounds such as KH2PO4 and squaric acid, have attracted much interest in the past due to their potential in applications [1]. This interest has been...

Topological insulators are 3D materials with a band gap in the bulk-electronic structure but with gapless, delocalized, surface states. The most studied topological insulator is...

In recent years, the investigation of metamagnetic properties of first order magnetic systems has become revolutionary. The rare-earth based compound Nd5Ge3 exhibits a magnetic...

The multiferroic system TbFeO3 undergoes magnetic transitions at 8.5 and 3 K, and with further modification in applied fields leading to a complex H-T phase diagram. At a...

In the field of semiconductor spintronics, n-type GaAs has been utilized as a prototype system, where one can inject electronic spin and study its behavior with optical...

Nd2Zr2O7 (NZO), synthesized and supplied to us by Tokura and Onose, is a new candidate spin ice while Pr2Zr2O7 (PZO) if anything even more promising is supplied to us by...

CeIr3Si2 exhibits highly anisotropic bulk properties with two magnetic transitions at TN1 ~ 3.9 K and TN2 ~ 3.1 K. The overall CEF splitting of the J=5/2 ground multiplet of...
