Characterizing Mu in 6H-SiC with RF-MuSR
We propose a set of RF measurements on Silicon Carbide (polytype 6H) to identify and characterize the muonium species present below room temperature. One of the main goals of... -
Motional Dynamics of Positively Charged Muonium in Anatase, Brookite and Ruti...
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... -
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... -
The nature of excitations in a molecular Haldane system
It is well known that an S = 1 antiferromagnetic spin chain is predicted to have a quantum disordered ground state and a gap in its excitation spectrum. This so-called Haldane... -
Muonium in BeO
BeO is a promising material in order to improve HfO2-based MOSFET devices, and a candidate substitute of HfO2 as high-k gate material. The electrical properties of BeO can be... -
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... -

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... -
Light induced spin polarisation in Ruby
To date, most experiments within the MuSES project have been on liquids samples at room temperature. The liquids were required to overlap the optical absorption with the muon¿s... -

We propose a study of Mu dynamics and the low temperature Mu$^0$-like states in TiO$_{2}$ under near-IR illumination to investigate the resulting excitonic states and behaviour.... -
Direct spectroscopy of muon donor and acceptor levels in silicon carbide
We will perform direct laser spectroscopy to measure the ionisation energy of muon defect levels in a semiconductor - specifically silicon carbide. We should see a broad... -
A study of Line Broadening of the Muonium RF Signal in the Presence of O2 Spi...
Considerable work has been carried out at ISIS with the aim of studying muoniated radicals in the gas phase by RF techniques. This has been motivated both by a desire to... -
Superconductivity and static moments in LuxZr1-xB12
Nonmagnetic impurity substitutions impact on superconducting properties in various ways depending on the pair-breaking mechanism. The aim of the proposed experiment is to... -
Electron polarisation in CdS and CdTe
At low temperatures and high magnetic fields, the electron in a muonium or radical state may be polarised if it has an opportunity to reach thermal equilibrium. Such a... -
Kinetics of Hydrogen Abstraction in Butane by Mu Reactivity
Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit... -
Investigation of excitonic physics in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules
The MuSES project currently ongoing in the HiFi spectrometer gives unique opportunity in the field of photochemistry and photophysics of organic molecules. After two successful...
