Muon spin relaxation will be used to study the dynamical properties of the polymer polydimethylsiloxane. This has emerged as an excellent model system for the study of polymer...

Nearly all polymers form glasses and the glass transition at temperature Tg dominates many physical properties of polymers that are relevant for their applications. The most...

The ability to manipulate quantum states of matter is a goal of condensed matter science. Recent progress in molecular magnetism has shown the potential for gaining control over...

We propose a series of measurements on anatase and brookite Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) to investigate the motional dynamics of positively charged Mu centres and their transition...

Recent investigations of physical properties of ACo2As2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) indicate that Co-based arsenides could be a potential parent compound like the parent AFe2As2. While...

Our proposal aims at microscopic investigation of magnetism of the novel copper-based low-dimensional spin system CuNCN, the first compound with a pure nitride environment of...

Magnetic ordering in frustrated systems with large magnetic interactions remains a key question in condensed matter physics. Despite strong theoretical and experimental quest to...

A recent hot topic in condensed matter is the discovery and successive study of skyrmions in materials such as MnSi or Cu2OSeO3. By tuning the magnetic field and temperature,...

This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-stateconfigurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen in...

LiFePO4 is cathode material for Li ion batteries. One of the key functional properties is the Li-ion diffusion. Theoretical calculations showed that Li diffusion along the [010]...

We have recently presented a novel method to study ion-dynamics in solids using muSR via the hopping rate (nu). We have previously and successfully applied this method to study...

We want to isolate the effects of doping, charge localization and local distortion on the transition from insulating antiferromagnet to superconducting metal in YBCO. We choose...

We aim at performing temperature (2-300K) and magnetic field (0-5T) dependent muon SR on a 1X1 cm2 mosaic, made of 4* 5x5x2 mm3 TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 single crystals (largest area...

We propose an investigation of the magnitude and fluctuations of internal magnetic fields in Mn-doped ZnGeP2. This chalcopyrite structured semiconductor has a ferromagnetic (FM)...

Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground...

Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has often lead to exotic properties in otherwise banal pool of 'paramagnetic' heavy ion oxides. In this context d4 Ir systems are exciting...

We propose to investigate AgFBF4, a compound known for > 20 years, with muon spectroscopy. The scope is to determine the 3D ordering temperature as well as estimate the value...

In this continuation proposal we will conclude our muon study of FeCrAs, a recently re-examined material that displays many of the above characteristics, suggesting that it is a...

Here we propose measurements on a unique, newly synthesized series of coordination polymers based on chains of Cu2+ ions. These have been designed with the intention of...

It is particularly challenging to synthesize a novel multiferroic material as it seems that the mechanisms that allow ferromagnets and ferroelectrics to work are mutually...
