A uSR study of the superconducting ground state in the ternary intermetallics...
The ternary intermetallics, which crystallise in the ThCr2Si2 structure, have been extensively studied mainly because these materials offer a rich variety of exotic ground... -
Engineering exchange strength in S=1/2 molecule-based magnets
Recent progress in the field of molecular magnetism has shown the potential for gaining control over the structural building blocks of molecular materials in order to engineer... -
Magnetic Ordering in the Heavy Fermion CePtZn
In rare-earth containing metals, there is a strong competition between the tendency of these systems to magnetically order or form a superconducting state, mirroring in many... -
Silicon nanoparticles in thermoelectric material applications - Solution stat...
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... -
Penetration depth in isovalent Ru substitution Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Ru$_x$)$_2$As$_2$
The investigation of the recently discovered high-Tc superconductors based on iron pnictides, has attracted great attention. Much effort has been devoted to determining the... -
characterisation of muonium in functionalized acenes
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... -
Investigation of magnetic defects in exfoliated graphite
Graphene has recently received widespread attention, after the discovery of its stability as a 2Dcrystal at ambient conditions and thanks to a wealth of possible applications.... -
Probing the magnetic ground state in one dimensional magnetic systems Ba3CrS5...
Most of the one dimensional spin chain compounds are antiferromagnetic with a rich magnetic phase diagram due to the magnetic frustration. We have synthesized Ba3CrS5 and... -
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... -
Hunting for the low-temperature, low-field magnetization plateau in Tb2Ti2O7
Tb2Ti2O7 is a pyrochlore antiferromagnet that has previously been viewed as a spin liquid. This description fails to describe key features of its physics and more recently the... -
Muon spin relaxation studies of KTCNQ and related compounds
Potassium tetracyanoquinodimenthane (KTCNQ) undergoes a spin-Peierls (SP) transition at 396K where a transformation from uniform to dimerised TCNQ- molecules in 1D columns... -
Unconventional superconductivity in quasi-1D K_2Cr_3As_3 (QLCR)
Metallic systems with one-dimensional chain-like atomic structure can support unusual mechanisms for electron pairing leading to superconductivity. K_2Cr_3As_3 is one of a... -
A µSR study of single crystals of the superconductor ZrB12
We have grown large single crystals of ZrB12 with an image furnace at Warwick. Our previous uSR study on a polycrystalline sample of superconducting ZrB12 using MuSR at ISIS... -
Muon States in Nanostructured Carbonaceous Materials
This experiment proposes the continuation of a study, initiated at J-PARC, on a new type of activated carbon material, with a pore structure and chemistry "tunable" in a manner... -
Oxygen deficiency in the quantum spin ice Tb2Ti2O7
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... -
A second generation 2D antiferromagnet investigated with muons
Low-dimensional quantum magnetism continues to be of great theoretical and experimental interest, as reduced dimensionality supports strong quantum fluctuations which can result... -
Muon level-crossing resonances as a probe for studying antiferromagnets at pu...
We propose a set of measurements using the HiFi spectrometer in which muon level-crossing resonances are used to probe the internal field inside antiferromagnets in which the... -
Interaction of N2O with Membranes Using µSR
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... -
Towards a Method of Quantifying Electrophilicity and Nucleophilicity
Understanding of chemical reactivity is founded on the fundamental concepts of Electrophilicity and Neucleophilicity. All extant attempts to do this depend on the reaction of... -
Probing the [FeFe]-hydrogenase subsite using muon spectroscopy
Solid state repolarisation measurements of [Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2] (RB 1010177) showed a weak recovery at ca.15G, a strong recovery at ca.100G and what was thought to be a weak...
