The search for new clever ways to deliver drugs, which often are not possible to dissolved in water, has lead to the development lipid based small particles. These particles can... -
Search for monopoles in spin ice via the exterior field distribution
Bramwell et al. have provided an elegant demonstration of dynamics in magnetic monopoles in spin ice measured by muons implanted inside the sample. However, it is likely that... -

The proposal develops recent observations on spin-lattice coupling in incommensurate materials (objective - measure influence of applied field on evolution of structural... -
Muon spin relaxation study of a novel frustrated system: Li7RuO6
Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground... -
RF decoupling of the F-mu-F state
NMR has become an extremely sophisticated experimental technique because of the use of pulse sequences which allow the control and manipulation of a nuclear spin system or... -
