MV2O6 brannerites have a network structure in which chains of edge-sharing MO6 octahedra result in 1-dimensional magnetic properties. A recent study reported monoclinic CoV2O6...

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...

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...

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...

Spin ladders present a class of low-dimensional quantum magnets that occupy a regime of rather subtle behavior which lies between the stark extremes of a one-dimensional chain...

The new molecular magnet bis(2,3-dimethylpyridinium) tetrabromocuprate (DIMPY) is a strong-leg spin ladder with a quantum critical point at 3.0(3) T separating a low-field...

The elusive OMu radical is believed to be formed by muonium reaction with nitrous oxide but has never been directly observed. It would be invisible to transverse-field muon spin...

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...

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...

Anion-exchange membranes are used in alkaline fuel cells, a technology which allows for the production of power from hydrogen in impure gas streams. Very little is known about...

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...

Gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) is a frustrated system which has already been successfully studied using muons. This study extends the earlier work to high magnetic field and...

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...

Our ongoing project to characterise radical scavenging by the green tea anti-oxidant EGCG and its D-ring analogue, (3,4,5-(OH)3-Bz) is near-complete. ALC-MuSR experiments on the...

Molecular nanomagnets (MNMs) comprise clusters of exchange coupled transition metal ions which often have a negative anisotropy constant, favouring a ground state with a large...

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...

For muoniated radical spectroscopy studies, benzene has long been the classic prototype system. However most of these studies have been at higher temperatures, often in the...

Spin ladders present a class of low dimensional quantum magnets that occupy a regime of subtle behaviour which lies between the stark extremes of a one-dimensional chain or...
