In a recent series of successful experiments at PSI and ISIS we were able to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the rate of transfer of a small molecule (allyl alcohol)...

In this proposal we wish to explore how the RF-MuSR technique might be developed for measurements akin to FT-NMR. Our work will focus on the broadband excitation of paramagnetic...

In recent years, nanoparticles have been a major source of interest in a wide range of fields. Our long term objectives are tuning the free radical reactivity on the surface of...

The current experiment proposes to identify and study the spin dynamics of the muon states formed in octabutoxy-phthalocyanine (oBu-H2Pc) using the avoided level crossing...

The great majority of known muonium defect centres and muonium substituted organic radicals have essentially spin-only magnetism, with few exhibiting any noticeable departure...

Previous muon experiments have identified a muonium state in the commonly occuring, but complex, beta rhombohedral form of elemental boron. To complement recent theoretical work...

Using the Emu spectrometer at ISIS we have recently studied charge carrier transport in the technologically important molecule 8-hydroxy-quinoline aluminium, by probing the...

This proposal looks to study the electron spin relaxation using high field ALC measurements in two polymers, which differ only by the non-metal (i.e S or Se) in the polymer...

Recent work has revealed that metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can also exhibit this multiferroicity. These materials are particularly interesting since their structures are...

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...

We wish to measure the low-field ALCs of a series of related functionalised acenes to identify which mechanism (spin orbit or hyperfine) is responsible for spin relaxation in...

There is much debate about muon stopping sites within materials and in many cases knowing where the muon stops is crucial to understanding the physical properties of different...

We wish to measure the ALCs of a series of polyacene molecules made of a different number of rings. We would like to identify the dependence of the electron spin relaxation rate...

The emerging field of organic spintronics is especially promising for new technologies, owing to the long spin coherence times, large flexibility and low production costs of the...

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...

The main spectroscopic technique for studying radicals in solids and liquids, ESR, cannot usually be used to study radicals of more than 3-5 atoms in the gas phase due to strong...

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...

Recent muon level-crossing measurements in the stable orthorhombic alpha-phase of sulphur indicate the existence of a radical state, with an interesting temperature evolution....

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...

In a previous experiment (RB910492) we have made preliminary measurements of the rates of addition of muonium to vitamins C and E, as suggested by the ISIS panel. These rates...
