Iron-based superconductors with molecular spacer layers: probing Li diffusion...
All known iron-based superconductors comprise layers of FeAs or FeSe with some combination of group I, group II or lanthanide oxide layers, and usually some doping. To make... -
Spin dynamics of the Heisenberg triangular antiferromagnet KCrO2
The members of the series ACrO2 (where A=Li, Na, K) comprise well-decoupled, highly ideal triangular planes containing isotropic spins. While the A=Li and Na materials have been... -
Powder diffraction determination of the magnetic structure of Ba2LiOsO6
We aim to investigate the antiferromagnetic ground state of Ba2LiOsO6 using neutron powder diffraction, determining both the magnetic ordering propagation vector, and the... -

The spin ice compounds Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 have come to enormous attention in the past year with the observation of excitations resembling magnetic monopoles. Here we propose... -
Coupling of chains in a new, highly tuneable, isostructural series of model q...
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... -
The internal field in a ferromagnetic organic radical crystal with chiral mol...
Shiomi et al. have prepared a nitronyl nitroxide radical-based compound which has a chiral packing of the molecular units. This is the first discovery of a purely organic chiral... -
Searching for magnetic ordering in the S=1/2 quasi-one-dimensional chain magn...
Muon spin relaxation is a remarkably powerful tool for discovering magnetic order in quasi-one-dimensional magnetic chain compounds, particularly when the weak interchain... -
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... -
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... -

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... -
muSR studies of AF/SC/normal phase interplays in La2-xSrxCuO4 and Ba(Fe,Ni)2As2
We propose muSR studies on superfluid density in the overdoped La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO). The Hayden group (Bristol) has been growing high-quality LSCO single crystals, and performed... -
Determining the spin gap in TiPO4
We propose to determine the spin gap in TiPO4, to do this we will carry out a zero-field temperature scan from 5 to 150 K and anticipate focusing our measurements on the region... -
Hydrogen bonds as synthons in novel molecular magnets
Many strategies have emerged in recent years in the quest to design and synthesize functional materials which show cooperative properties. A particularly successful route to new... -
Fluctuating stripes in an insulating hole-doped antiferromagnet
In a recent letter to Nature, Boothroyd and coworkers have shown that the well known hour-glass spectrum, previously observed in some cuprate materials, occurs in a hole doped... -
Muon Spin Relaxation and ALC Resonance in Magnetic and non-Magnetic Oxalate S...
Repolarisation and level crossing resonance will be studied for several different oxalate compounds where muon radical states are known to be formed. Such compounds form a... -
Analysis of magnetic properties via the F-mu-F state in inorganic flourides
Here we propose to investigate the fluroide containing compounds - AgF2, CuF2 and Cs2CuF4. By taking advantage of the F-mu-F coupling wich occurs in these compounds, we will... -
Studying the metamagnetism of FeCl2 and FeBr2 using HiFi
Work on the iron halides FeX2 has led to the models of A-type antiferromagnetism and the tricritical point in magnetic systems. Here we wish to carry out decoupling experiments... -
