Acidity in zeolites - A MuSR perspective
Zeolites are microporous materials that are used as heterogeneous acid catalysts in reactions. It is important to study reactive intermediates in zeolites in order to understand... -
The search for ALC resonances in TRP-TYR: pioneering spatial and temporal res...
Electron transfer (ET) processes in peptides and proteins are key steps in the functioning of several natural enzymes including DNA photolyase and ribonucleitide reductase,... -
Studies of Free Radical Final States on Au nanoparticles by RF-muSR and ALC S...
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... -
Photoinduced carrier lifetime in silicon: E-field application for carrier sep...
This continuing experiment is proposed based on our previous experiment RB1510208, which we have carried out just recently. The experiment successfully observed the lifetime of... -
Probing the [FeFe]-hydrogenase using muon spectroscopy
During our previous experiment on HiFi (RB1320541) we measured the ALC spectrum of the Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2 model hydrogenase complex over multiple temperatures. The spectra... -
How complex is complex: an ALC study of a 10-mer helical peptide chain
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... -
Hyperfine Interaction Studies in Synthetic Single Stranded DNA Molecule
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... -

MuSR study of organic solar cells
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... -
Organometallic Radicals
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... -
Partitioning of lidocaine into a model lipid system using avoided level cross...
Drug design and development is a costly business with a high attrition rate. There are many reasons why a drug may fail to reach its target site of action but for those that... -
Laser-induced electron transfer in Trp-Tyr
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... -

Investigating Lead Halide Perovskite Solar cells using ALCs
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... -
Frustration-stabilized skyrmions in centrosymmetric compounds
Skyrmions are chiral magnetic spin textures that exist in a variety of different magnetic materials. Skyrmions are usually stabilized in noncentrosymmetric chiral materials by... -
A GENERAL METHOD OF MEASURING ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY
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... -
Level crossings in the open ring molecular magnet Cr8Cd
Molecular nanomagnets (MNMs) comprise clusters of exchange coupled transition metal ions which often have a negative anisotropy constant, favoring a ground state with a large...
