Dilution-induced spin glass in Na2IrO3: a MuSR study
We plan to investigate Na2IrO3 samples with a partial substitution of Na by means of a transition metal element (the cases of TM = Co, Ni, Cu and Zn will be considered). The... -
Local Field fluctuations and Mu Dynamics in Vanadium Dioxide Compounds
This is an in depth study of magnetic fluctuations and local field dynamics leading into the low temperature magnetic phase of Vanadium Oxide compounds (VO2, VO2:W and VO2:Ti)... -
Exploring local ion diffusion dynamics in hydrated LiRAPs by muSR
Many of the devices currently used for energy storage (e.g., batteries, solar cells) use liquid electrolytes that are known to pose a serious fire and safety risk. In recent... -
In-operando diffusion measurements on an all-solid-state battery cell
We propose to use muons to probe the diffusion processes which occur within a battery anode during cycling in an all solid-state battery. Such solid-state battery configurations... -
Kinetics of lithium ions in high capacity anode for energy storage
The research on energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is vital for electric vehicles (EVs), electronic devices and grid-scale energy storage. According to... -
Muonium in widegap oxides
This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-state configurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen... -

Crystal and magnetic structures of new layered perovskites of possible oxygen...
New layered perovskite compounds LaBaFeMnO5 and LaBaFeMnO6 were recently synthesized. They may be useful for future oxygen storage applications. Fe-Mössbauer spectroscopy has... -
Muon Studies of Ion Diffusion in Single-Crystal Photovoltaic Materials
In recent years, the family of lead halide perovskite materials (e.g. MAPbI3) has attracted substantial interest due to their unique combination of properties and potential... -
Energy dependent, sample transmission correction for time-of-flight diffracti...
Diffraction from hydrogenous materials is complicated by the large incoherent scattering contribution from hydrogen. For many materials the solution is to deuterate before... -
Partial freezing of a Kagome Magnet
Ever since the first published consideration of the ground state of a triangular lattice of Ising spins by PW Andersen in the 50's, the pursuit of materials with geometrically... -
