µSR studies of the superconducting and magnetic properties of FeSe1-xSx
FeSe1-xSx is an important model system for investigating the relationship between superconductivity and nematicity. The nematicity can be suppressed systematically by the... -
Models of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase active site: high symmetry in a biologically...
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... -
Investigation of non-Fermi liquid behaviour in Mn0.75Fe0.25Si through muon sp...
The investigation of electron correlations in intermetallic alloys is fascinating. At times, depending on the nature and strength of correlations, the compounds exhibit... -
A µSR stoichiometry study of TixV1-x alloys superconductivity in the presen...
This is a continuation proposal, for work carried out previously on the EMU and MuSR spectrometers. We have determined that spin fluctuations are present in this system, by... -
Population Control of Entangled Levels PTFE
We have recently performed a test experiment which demonstrates the potential (RB1510281) of using RF muon spectroscopy to manipulate the population of the levels of the FmuF... -
Varying oxygen content 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 stoichiometry. Most... -
QLCR Spectroscopy of Solid Nitrogen
Quadrupolar level crossing resonance (QLCR) occurs in the muSR of solids with diamagnetic muon states in close proximity to quadrupolar nuclei. This effect provides uniquely... -
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... -
Valence bond solid in the charge ordered state of Rb4O6
Open p-shell anionic mixed-valence compounds have been recently proposed as intriguing model systems for disentangling the complex interplay of charge, lattice, orbital, and... -
HIFI STUDY OF THE HETEROMETALLIC POLYMERS {[{(PTA)2CpRu-μ-CN-RuCp(PTA)2}...
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... -
Spin dynamics and magnetic ordering in the p-orbital molecular solids CsO2 an...
A magnetic response of the alkali-metal superoxides comes from the p-orbital S = 1/2 spins of anionic O2- molecules. As the O2- molecules are highly reorientable and the... -
Probing the Magnetism and Suspected Quantum Fluctuations in Green Dioptase
It has been suggested that within green dipotase there the magnetism is dominated by quantum flucuations but evidence for this is not definitive. This means that in this... -
Spectroscopy of muon centres in n-type silicon carbide
We propose a series of measurements to complete the previous direct spectroscopic measurements of the Muonium defect energy levels in Silicon Carbide (SiC; RB110134). We will... -
Probing the glass transition in polymers using LF muSR
Nearly all polymers form glasses and the glass transition at temperature Tg dominates many physical properties of polymers that are relevant for their applications. The most... -
Manipulation of Quadrupole Resonance Level Crossing in MuonSR by Rf irradiati...
Muon interactions with quadrupolar nuclear spins have occasionally been studied by theirlevel crossing resonance spectra. In an ideal case the quadrupole resonance level... -
