In a typical magnetic material the interactions between neighbouring magnetic moments will tend to lead to their ordered alignment throughout the entire structure as it is...

Recent investigations of physical properties of ACo2As2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) indicate that Co-based arsenides could be a potential parent compound like the parent AFe2As2. While...

Alkali-cluster intercalated fullerides (LixC60, NaxC60) proved to be suitable materials for solid state hydrogen storage. In these compounds the hydrogen is chemically absorbed...

The increasing global demand for portable energy means that the search for new electrode materials for rechargeable solid-state batteries is an important scientific challenge....

Thermal, magnetic, neutron and muSR measurements all point towards a gapless or almost gapless spin liquid ground state for the triangular lattice spin system of S=1/2 Mo3...

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent µSR studies of bare Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous...

Lithium (Li) ion batteries is the most common battery technology but lately also potassium (K) batteries are being considered. One reason is that the Li-reserves are limited and...

The members of the series ACrO2 (where A=Li, Na, K) comprise well-decoupled, highly ideal triangular planes containing isotropic spins. While the A=Li and Na materials have been...

Magnetic properties of graphitic compounds are of current interest for both theoretical and experimental research in the fields of condensed matter physics and magnetism. In the...

Clays are porous materials and planned to be used as barrier material in radioactive waste repositories. In this context understanding of water and solute diffusion on different...

This year Nobel Prize award to the discovery of graphene has evidenced the relevance of this material, which has outstanding physical properties and promising technological...

Metamagnetic Shape Memory Alloys (MMSMAS) undergo a martensitic transformation which is accompanied with a large drop in magnetization on cooling, making the low temperature...

In this continuation proposal we will conclude our muon study of FeCrAs, a recently re-examined material that displays many of the above characteristics, suggesting that it is a...

We propose further zero-field muon spin depolarization measurements at temperatures above 300K in order to determine barriers for thermal diffusion of positively charged muonium...

Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has often lead to exotic properties in otherwise banal pool of 'paramagnetic' heavy ion oxides. In this context d4 Ir systems are exciting...

Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground...

The diamagnetic states formed by muon implantation in alkali halides are to be characterised, and their diffusion studied, by means of RF final-state analysis. The 90° pulse...

We plan to measure the hyperfine constants for both the muon and the equivalent hydrogen atom in a small muonated radical using time-differential ALC. We will follow this as a...

We propose an investigation of the magnitude and fluctuations of internal magnetic fields in Mn-doped ZnGeP2. This chalcopyrite structured semiconductor has a ferromagnetic (FM)...

We aim at performing temperature (2-300K) and magnetic field (0-5T) dependent muon SR on a 1X1 cm2 mosaic, made of 4* 5x5x2 mm3 TbMn0.98Fe0.02O3 single crystals (largest area...
