We propose to determine the possibility for H-addition occurring in the natural anti-oxidants lycopene, melatonin and Delta9-THC, by ALC-muSR on the HiFi instrument. Our...

We wish to investigate the evolution of the low-field ALC peaks with temperature of TMS-Pentacene, so we can extract the temperature dependent electron spin relaxation rate. Our...

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...

In order to meet the UK's commitment to reduce 80% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, it is necessary make major advances in efficient, clean and secure energy conversion and...

Previous ALC measurements of the Fe2(pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2 and [Fe2(pdt)(CO)4(CN)2]2- (referred to as 1 and 2) model hydrogenase subsites have yielded some intriguing results (RB...

The electron donor molecule BEDT-TTF (ET) provides a versatile building block for constructing molecular metals, superconductors, magnets and quantum spin liquids. A common...

We wish to measure the high field ALCs of a series of related functionalised acenes, to understand the role of the ligands on the electron spin relaxation, which is of...

Since ancient times it has been known that using boiling water to prepare tea ¿burns¿ the brew destroying the teas flavours & beneficial nutrients. One aspect of a ¿burnt¿...

Preliminary measurements of [FeFe]-hydrogenase model complexes were made in a previous experiment using EMU (RB 1010177). The results were interpreted in combination with DFT...

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...

In a previous experiment (RB910492) we have made preliminary measurements of the rates of addition of muonium to vitamins C and E, as suggested by the ISIS panel. These rates...

Molecular modelling suggests that the antioxidant molecule EGCG "folds up" around the radical it captures, and therefore should shield the spin density from the environment....

The [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes are some of the best catalysts know for generating hydrogen. We have an ongoing programme to understand how their chemistry works, and to...

We plan to confirm that the change in asymmetry on resonance in the ALC spectra seen in the subject complex dielectric during the previous rapid access proposal (RB1900028) is a...

The extreme quantum nature of muons and muonium in condensed matter is the result of having a mass that is nine times lighter than that of a hydrogen atom. While this quantum...

Nitrous oxide, N2O, is an inhalant anaesthetic with a long history of use dating back to 1844. It is most commonly used as a light sedative in dentistry, or in child birth and...

Using muon spin relaxation and ALC resonance spectroscopy, the electron spin relaxation and mobility of the polymer P3OT will be determined. P3OT differs in structure to P3HT...

The relative importance of factors affecting the low temperature ALC spectra of organic molecular systems such as polymers and small molecules is a topical issue. Polybutadiene...

Increasing interest in biofuels has led to a desire to understand the phase characteristics of the compounds present in these fuels and how the dynamics of the fluid might be...

An important element of the work associated with the current Framework Programme 7 Joint Research Activity (JRA) for muons is the development of gas sample pressure cells...
