Laser-induced electron transfer in Trp-Tyr
We wish to perform longitudinal field measurements on the dipeptide Trp-Tyr under laserexcitation, to probe the electron transfer process within the molecule. We have already... -
Vibrations of a muoniated radical center and photochemistry in benzophenone
Benzophenone is an ideal material to study vibrations of a muon radical centre with near-IR laser light, as all C=O bonds in solid state are almost parallel to each other and it... -

The push globally for greener energy supplies has led to the discovery of new solar cell materials, which consist of an organic molecule surrounded by eight PbX5 octahedras... -
A GENERAL METHOD OF MEASURING ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY
Antioxidants are very important molecules because they can prevent or slow down the oxidative damage to our bodies. When our bodies use oxygen, free radicals are released which... -
Frustration-stabilized skyrmions in centrosymmetric compounds
Skyrmions are chiral magnetic spin textures that exist in a variety of different magnetic materials. Skyrmions are usually stabilized in noncentrosymmetric chiral materials by... -

Identifying the mechanism behind spin relaxation in organic materials
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... -
Investigating the effect of magnetic impurities on P3HT ALC resonances.
Previous work on the polymer RR-P3HT has found that the ALC resonance collapses at 100K to ~80% of the 300K ALC magnitude, this is much larger than the decrease seen for small... -
Study of Corannulene (C20H10) radicals
Carbon nanostructures presenting charge-transfer behavior (e.g. fullerene) can display high affinity to hydrogen and are promising materials for reversible hydrogen storage.... -
