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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
Development of Radio Frequency µSR as a Method for Determining Hyperfine Coup...
Radio Frequency µSR provides a direct method for accurately determining muon hyperfine coupling constants, Aµ, for muoniated radical species. The method complements the well... -
Two Gap Superconductivity of ZrB12
ZrB12 is a cluster boride compound which is superconducting at 6K although the source of the pairing interaction appears to come from the Zr ions with the boron acting as a... -
Spin dynamics in CP*-RE-COT
Single-Molecular Magnets (SMMs) provide access to the mesoscopic world. They possess slow magnetization relaxation due to an energy barrier induced by axial magnetic anisotropy,... -
An investigation of anti-pressure effect on the time reversal symmetry breaki...
In this proposal we propose to continue our investigation into the LaNiC2 non-centrosymmetric superconductors. Previously, we have shown that in this system time reversal... -
Auger recombination in low temperature silicon measured by photo-MuSR technique
We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30... -
