We seek to continue our study of CsNiCl3 to determine the nature of the two magnetic transitions.Previous experiments at PSI have shown there are two distinct muons sites, one...

In order to show a potential power of a negative muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu-SR) technique for observing local magnetic environments, we here want to propose a mu-SR...

Recent progress in the field of molecular magnetism has shown the clear potential for gaining control over the structural building blocks of molecular materials in order to...

An all solid state lithium ion battery (SSLIB) has an advantage in electrical capacity compared to the popular lithium ion battery (LIB) using a liquid electrolyte. However, a...

Spin ladders are excellent model systems for studying quantum phase transitions, as they exhibit a quantum critical point between non-magnetic spin singlet dimers to Néel...

We request four days of beam time to conduct zero, transverse, and longitudinal field measurements on pyrochlore iridates A2Ir2O7 (A-227) with A = Yb, Y, Nd in the temperature...

Magnetic systems generally involve magnetic moments on individual ions or atoms with coupling between them that can induce magnetic ordering. An alternative paradigm is realised...

Radio Frequency µSR provides a direct method for accurately determining muon hyperfine coupling constants, Aµ, for muoniated radical species. The method complements the well...

Increasing interest in biofuels has led to a desire to understand the phase characteristics of the compounds present in these fuels and how the dynamics of the fluid might be...

We have recently performed a test experiment which demonstrates the potential (RB1510281) of using RF muon spectroscopy to manipulate the population of the levels of the FmuF...

Tb2Ti2O7 is one of two compounds identified as potential quantum spin ices. As with other oxide pyrochlores the properties depend sensitively on the oxygen stoichiometry. Most...

CuTCNQ (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane) is material which exhibits electrical resistive switching at 300K and has two structural forms (I and II), each with very...

The quantum spin liquid (QSL) state is one of the possible outcomes of quantum fluctuations advancing magnetic systems into a disordered phase. After more than 30 years of quest...

We plan to perform transverse field and zero-field μSR experiments to investigate the temperature dependence of the relaxation rate in the superconducting phase of...

The magnetic ground state of a compound containing higher d-orbital (4d/5d) is fascinating due to its various competing effects like extended orbital, pronounced crystal field...

Proton-conducting polymer membranes have significant technological applications in hydrogen or methanol fuel cells. muSR can shed light on the mechanisms for proton transport in...

Solid state repolarisation measurements of [Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2] (RB 1010177) showed a weak recovery at ca.15G, a strong recovery at ca.100G and what was thought to be a weak...

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...

In this proposal we propose to investigate the superconducting ground state of the non-centrosymmetric superconductor Ru7B3. Controversy exists over the nature of the...

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...
