In a typical magnetic material the interactions between neighbouring magnetic moments will tend to lead to their ordered alignment throughout the entire structure as it is...

Recently, barlowite Cu4(OH)6FBr have been attracting much attention as a new kagome system with a Z2 topological order, which may yield spin liquid state at relative high...

Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has often lead to exotic properties in otherwise banal pool of 'paramagnetic' heavy ion oxides. In this context d4 Ir systems are exciting...

We plan to measure the hyperfine constants for both the muon and the equivalent hydrogen atom in a small muonated radical using time-differential ALC. We will follow this as a...

We propose a series of measurements on anatase and brookite Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) to investigate the motional dynamics of positively charged Mu centres and their transition...

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...

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...

A triangular lattice occupies a special position in the quantum spin-liquid (QSL) physics. Although the triangular-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet is known to evade a QSL,...

The rise of quantum materials observed in the past decades has been a source of great excitement for condensed matter scientists, with the flourishing of new concepts and...

We have developed a method to measure carrier recombination lifetime in crystalline silicon with the photo-muSR technique. The key of the method is to measure the dependence of...

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...

Molecular solids like sodium superoxide NaO2 exhibit intricate magnetic behavior despite their simple chemical structure. This is due to the interplay of spin, orbital and...

Magnetic skyrmions are vortex-like objects characterised by an integer topological winding number. They have been observed in the spin structures of several magnetic materials...

We propose to study PdxIrTe2, which evolves from a charge-orbital density wave state to a superconducting state with doping. It has a similar structural motif, doping-dependent...

Molecular solids like sodium superoxide NaO2 possess relatively simple crystal structures, yet their magnetism is surprisingly complex. This is presumably due to the interplay...

Skyrmions are topological excitations that exist in a variety of magnetic insulators. Here we propose to complete our previous experiment (RB1320198) with the aim of producing a...

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...

Recently the compound TlNi2Se2 has gained interest as a potential playground of unconventional superconductor effects. Heat capacity and magnetization measurements hint at the...

Our ability to control the synthesis of this kind of material has led to the development of a family of Ru-Ru-M-backbone organometallic compounds with general formula...

Ce-compounds are well known to present very rich physics and exotic electronic ground state due to the competing RKKY, Kondo and crystal field interactions. Recently CeRuPO...
