Room temperature biskyrmions in non-chiral thin film MnNiGa
Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials and are currently under intense... -
Probing lithium diffusion in olivine materials LiMPO4 using muSR
We can trace the history of electrochemical cells just over two hundred years back to Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta¿s inventions, and perhaps more than a millennium further... -
Exploring magnetic fluctuations in a novel iridate pyrochlore: Bi2Ir2O7
Pyrochlore magnets are one of the cornerstones of frustrated magnetism, with two interpenetrating lattices of corner-sharing tetrahedra on which magnetic ions can be placed. By... -
High Field Studies of BEDT-TTF and kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2X
The kappa structural phase of BEDT-TTF salts incorporating various anions X provides an extremely interesting series of layered-structure strongly-correlated materials, whose... -
Nonmonotonic phase diagrams in molecular magnets
We propose longitudinal field muSR on a 2D molecular magnetic system which has been suggested to have an unusual B-T phase diagram. Our goal is to probe the transition from... -
Superconductivity and magnetism in iron-arsenide superconductors
The The recent discovery of superconductivity in FeAs-containing compounds (often known as the pnictides has provided a great stimulus to experiment and theory in the study of... -
Na4Ir3O8: a spin liquid, a valence bond crystal, or something else?
Spins on the kagome lattice are one of the most widely investigated topics in frustrated magnetism. This two-dimensional corner sharing triangular lattice offers a... -
Control of the electronic state in new pnictide superconductors using doping
The properties of pnictide superconductors can be controlled exquisitely by chemical doping. We have identified some key systems in which to explore this effect which should... -
Level crossings in the open ring molecular magnet Cr8Cd
Molecular nanomagnets (MNMs) comprise clusters of exchange coupled transition metal ions which often have a negative anisotropy constant, favoring a ground state with a large... -
Decoupling the spin fluctuations with high magnetic fields in the geometrical...
Gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) is a frustrated system which has already been successfully studied using muons. This study extends the earlier work to high magnetic field and... -
Isolating exchange pathways in novel molecular magnets
Experimentally exploring the fascinating physics of one- and two-dimensional magnetism continues to rely on the synthesis of novel, model systems with highly anisotropic... -
Separating static and dynamic contributions to the muon relaxation in Ca3(Co,...
Ca3CoMnO6 has alternating ions in ferromagnetic Ising chains that are antiferromagnetically coupled on a triangular lattice and realizes an important model in frustrated... -
Studying the metamagnetism of FeCl2 and FeBr2 using HiFi
Work on the iron halides FeX2 has led to the models of A-type antiferromagnetism and the tricritical point in magnetic systems. Here we wish to carry out decoupling experiments... -
Searching for magnetic ordering in the S=1/2 quasi-one-dimensional chain magn...
Muon spin relaxation is a remarkably powerful tool for discovering magnetic order in quasi-one-dimensional magnetic chain compounds, particularly when the weak interchain... -
The internal field in a ferromagnetic organic radical crystal with chiral mol...
Shiomi et al. have prepared a nitronyl nitroxide radical-based compound which has a chiral packing of the molecular units. This is the first discovery of a purely organic chiral...
