The search for ALC resonances in TRP-TYR: pioneering spatial and temporal res...
Electron transfer (ET) processes in peptides and proteins are key steps in the functioning of several natural enzymes including DNA photolyase and ribonucleitide reductase,... -
Rates of Molecular Transfer Across Interfacial Layers Using µSR
The first direct measurements of the rate of transfer of a probe molecule across an interfacial layer have been made at PSI, using TF and ALC-MuSR. This application for beamtime... -
muSR study of field-induced phases in a 1-dimensional Ising system
MV2O6 brannerites have a network structure in which chains of edge-sharing MO6 octahedra result in 1-dimensional magnetic properties. A recent study reported monoclinic CoV2O6... -
Energy gap formation in the anisotropic Kondo insulator CeRu4Sn6 using muSR
We propose to perform a survey of the zero-field and applied field muSR in CeRu4Sn6 single crystal. We will do the field dependence of the muSR response at base temperature in... -
Novel Anti-Oxidant Mechanisms 3: Extending the Gamut to Lycopene, THC and Mel...
We propose to determine the possibility for H-addition occurring in the natural anti-oxidants lycopene, melatonin and Delta9-THC, by ALC-muSR on the HiFi instrument. Our... -
Probing the spin dynamics in the pseudo-quaternary Y1-xErxNi2B2C compounds
Our uSR measurements on superconducting Y1-xErxNi2B2C shows a slowing of the Er spin dynamics upon cooling to 2.5 K, but the depolarisation rate does not critically diverge and... -
Detailed temperature dependence of the low-field ALC in TMS-Pentacene
We wish to investigate the evolution of the low-field ALC peaks with temperature of TMS-Pentacene, so we can extract the temperature dependent electron spin relaxation rate. Our... -
Non-collinear Order and Spin Fluctuations in Chiral Cyanide-bridged Molecular...
A series of cyanide-bridged molecular magnets incorporating chiral ligands will be invstigated using muon spin relaxation. The magnets combine Ni(II) with M(III) (M=Fe,Cr,Co).... -
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... -
Electron Spin Relaxation Studies In the 5,7-Br/Cl/I Substituted Aluminium- Hy...
We have recently performed high field ALC measurements on the polycrystalline Metal Tris(Hydroxy-quinolate), MQ3, series in order to further investigate the intrinsic electron... -

Since ancient times it has been known that using boiling water to prepare tea ¿burns¿ the brew destroying the teas flavours & beneficial nutrients. One aspect of a ¿burnt¿... -
Observation of the spin dynamics anomaly originating from the Griffiths singu...
The muSR experiments on a diluted Ising antiferromagnet HoxY1-xRu2Si2 are proposed for aiming verification of the Griffiths singularity. In preceding neutron scattering and muSR... -
Artificial [FeFe]-Hydrogenases and Muon Spectroscopy
Preliminary measurements of [FeFe]-hydrogenase model complexes were made in a previous experiment using EMU (RB 1010177). The results were interpreted in combination with DFT... -
Electron Spin Relaxation Measurements of P3HS
Using muon spin relaxation and ALC resonance spectroscopy the electron spin relaxation and mobility of the polymer P3HS will be measured as a function of temperature. The... -
Spin Dynamics in Organic-Inorganie Hybrid Systems
The organic-inorganic hybrid systems consist of organic and inorganic components forming a 2 D layered structure. The distance between adjacent magnetic layers is quite far,... -
Muon Spin Relaxation and ALC Resonance in Magnetic and non-Magnetic Oxalate S...
Repolarisation and level crossing resonance will be studied for several different oxalate compounds where muon radical states are known to be formed. Such compounds form a... -
ALC muon spectroscopy of antioxidants
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... -
Capture and isolation of radicals by green tea antioxidants
Molecular modelling suggests that the antioxidant molecule EGCG "folds up" around the radical it captures, and therefore should shield the spin density from the environment.... -
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... -
