The Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL) can be described as a 2D square lattice built up from a network of dimers disposed orthogonally and has been observed in SrCu2(BO2)3....

We propose to develop and carry out a novel in situ SR/electrochemical technique to identify the mechanism underlying ferromagnetism in palladium bionanoparticles. We...

One of us has recently found experimental evidence for unconventional superconductivity in a newly synthesized three-dimensional nearly antiferromagnetic metal, LaAg1−xMnx...

This proposal aims to characterise the spin dynamics of three Pr-based pyrochlores that may be realisations of quantum spin ice materials. The lower moment and larger wave...

Recently we have investigated Pr2Pd3Ge5 and Pr2Rh3Ge5 compounds which form in the orthorhombic structure. Pr2Pd3Ge5 exhibits two magnetic transitions at TN1 = 7.5 K and TN2 =...

The cubic compound Ce3Ir4Sn13 shows complex step-like magnetic ordering at 2.1K and 0.6K in the heat capacity (also at 2.18K) and Hall effect. The 2.1K transition is furthermore...

Properties of graphene that make it an important material are its exceptionally high conductivity, massless fermions and a high velocity of electrons near the Dirac points....

We have performed further measurements on Dy2Ti2O7 and confirmed the observation of magnetic charge transport. Given the time constraints of our previous experiment not all...

In a recent series of successful experiments at PSI and ISIS we were able to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the rate of transfer of a small molecule (allyl alcohol)...

U2Pt2Sn crystallizes in the tetragonal Zr3Al2-type structure (P42/mnm, Z = 4), where uranium atoms occupy two different sites. Our measurements of bulk properties have shown...

Tb2Ti2O7 is one of two compounds identified as potential quantum spin ices. As with other oxide pyrochlores the properties depend sensitively on the oxygen content. Most...

Multiferroic systems have been a long-lasting and productive research field of condensed matter physics in both fundamental and applied perspectives. Useful multiferroic systems...

A 19-electron organometallic radical was produced by the reaction of muonium with ferrocene and characterized by avoided level crossing muon spin resonance (ALC-muSR) and...

The spin relaxation rates of free radicals in solution can provide valuable information about the dynamics of molecular tumbling in solution, and solvent-radical interactions....

In this proposal we wish to explore how the RF-uSR technique might be developed for measurements akin to FT-NMR. Our work will focus on the broadband excitation of paramagnetic...

This study involves attempting to understand the Li atom diffusion within Li-intercalated hexagonal boron nitride. Muons present a significant advantage as they are sensitive to...

LiCuSbO4 is a new 1D S =1/2 frustrated chain compound. Chains with frustrated ferromagnetic J1 and antiferromagnetic J2 interactions are of significant interest due to the rich...

We plan to measure the electric field distribution in epoxy resin based dielectrics close to breakdown using muons to detect the free charge carriers that may contribute to...

The physics across the phase transitions in solids has been of topical interest in the condensed matter physics. For example, liquid and vapor coexist along the vapor pressure...
