Electron transfer (ET) processes in peptides and proteins are key steps in the functioning of several natural enzymes including DNA photolyase and ribonucleitide reductase,...

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent µSR studies of bare Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous...

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...

There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters...

Electron transport plays an important role especially to repair the damaged in DNA. µSR provides a means to microscopically study such phenomena. A systematic study on the...

There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters...

Organic solar cells are of great interest, due to their relative cheapness and ease of fabrication. Unfortunately the efficiency of the devices is much lower than the...

Avoided level crossing muon spin resonance (ALC-muSR) is an exceptional tool for determining the structure and probing the dynamics of radicals but there have been only a few...

We have recently performed a measurement of the dipeptide Tryptophanil-Tyrosine (Trp-Tyr) dissolved in deoxygenated water, illuminated by the 4th harmonic of the Nd-YAG laser...

Our ability to control the synthesis of this kind of material has led to the development of a family of Ru-Ru-M-backbone organometallic compounds with general formula...

The proposed experiment aims to determine the electron spin relaxation rate of the amorphous polymer PTAA as a function of temperature using the HIFI muon spectrometer. For...

There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters...

Previous work on the polymer RR-P3HT has found that the ALC resonance collapses at 100K to ~80% of the 300K ALC magnitude, this is much larger than the decrease seen for small...

The research and development of Lead Halide perovskite solar cells is one of the most rapidly growing research areas. Since the discovery of these organic-inorganic metal halide...

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...

The push globally for greener energy supplies has led to the discovery of new solar cell materials, which consist of an organic molecule surrounded by eight PbX5 octahedras...

Benzophenone is an ideal material to study vibrations of a muon radical centre with near-IR laser light, as all C=O bonds in solid state are almost parallel to each other and it...

We wish to perform longitudinal field measurements on the dipeptide Trp-Tyr under laserexcitation, to probe the electron transfer process within the molecule. We have already...

The technology of organic electronics unlocks new ways to create semiconductor devices which are impossible using more conventional materials. The organic semiconductors at...
