Muon Study of Ion-diffusion in a Novel Sodium Battery Material
Lithium (Li) ion batteries is the most common battery technology but lately also sodium (Na) batteries are being considered. One reason is that the Li-reserves are limited and... -
Electron polarisation in CdS and CdTe
At low temperatures and high magnetic fields, the electron in a muonium or radical state may be polarised if it has an opportunity to reach thermal equilibrium. Such a... -
The effect of metal nanoparticles on the electronic structure of bound free r...
In recent years, the noble metals nanoparticles (MNPs) have been the subject of intense interest in areas of materials science, biotechnology, medicine and organic chemistry for... -
Using QLCR to Study Stopping Sites in Molecular Solids
Muon nuclear quadrupolar level crossing resonance is not a well-known technique, however it is extremely powerful. There is a large interest in probing the muon stopping site... -
Electron polarisation of deep muonium states
Following recent experiments in which the shallow donor muon states in semiconductors are found to have significant electron polarisation at low temperatures and high fields, we... -
RF MuSR in the gas phase: The Search for a Radical State
The main spectroscopic technique for studying radicals in solids and liquids, ESR, cannot usually be used to study radicals of more than 3-5 atoms in the gas phase due to strong... -
Repolarization of Radicals in Liquids
The recovery of the muon polarization in a longitudinal magnetic field has been used to obtain the muon hfcs of organic radicals. In pure benzene there is a single step in the... -
RF-muSR in the gas phase: the muoniated ethyl radical
Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is an exceptional technique for studying free radicals, but it has not been applied to study radicals in the gas phase. In a previous... -
Probing the products of free radical reactions in ionic liquids
Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical... -
Characterizing Mu in 6H-SiC with RF-MuSR
We propose a set of RF measurements on Silicon Carbide (polytype 6H) to identify and characterize the muonium species present below room temperature. One of the main goals of...
