While investigating the ordering and magnetic dynamics in La2-xSrxCoO4 we found some intriguing behaviour for samples with small x, which would imply that the phase diagram is...

This proposal aims to characterise the spin dynamics of three Pr-based pyrochlores that may be realisations of quantum spin ice materials. The lower moment and larger wave...

Batteries are ubiquitous in everday applications but making them cheaper, safer, and able to store more energy could widen their use still further. Many rechargeable batteries...

The fluorinated ionomer Nafion is a material that provides efficient proton conducting membranes for application in important technological areas such as hydrogen fuel cells....

Polar or non-centrosymmetric ferri(-o)magnets offer a plethora of potential technological devices; the inherent magnetoelectric effect can underpin both pyroelectric or...

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected objects that exist in the spin texture of certain magnetic materials. We have shown that muon spin relaxation is a powerful...

Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for...

Freezing of fluids confined at the nanoscale is of great importance for the understanding of their behaviour due to the confinement effects arising from the finite pore size and...

Ni2Mn1+pZ1-p (Z= In, Sn, Sb and < p 1) based ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) with Heusler type structure are fascinating materials as far as the magneto-functional...

We plan to investigate by means of zero-field muSR the doping dependence of the sublatticemagnetization in La2Cu1-xZnxO4 and in La2Cu1-xMgxO4. In both systems Cu2+ S=1/2 spins...

The properties of fluids confined in nanopores differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size. Such phenomena are of fundamental...

NaTiO2 has been predicted to have a variety of unusual magnetic states, depending sensitively on the details of the crystal structure and interaction strength between the...

In this experiment we propose to perform diffraction on isotopically substituted samples of Ca/Yb:ND/H3 and Ca/Yb:15ND3 at two concentrations (8 and 2 MPM) using the new NIMROD...

The goal of this experiment is to better understand the molecular dynamics in polystyrene in order to shed light on the discrepancy between beta-NMR and low-energy muSR...

Proton-conducting polymer membranes have significant technological applications in hydrogen or methanol fuel cells. muSR can shed light on the mechanisms for proton transport in...

The fluorinated ionomer Nafion is a material that provides efficient proton conducting membranes for application in important technological areas such as hydrogen fuel cells....

As a consequence of cation disorder, the compound La3Ni2SbO9 behaves as a new type of magnetic material, a "relaxor ferromagnet", somewhat analogous to a relaxor ferroelectric,...

This is an in depth study of magnetic fluctuations and local field dynamics leading into the low temperature magnetic phase of Vanadium Oxide compounds (VO2, VO2:W and VO2:Ti)...

In recent years, the family of lead halide perovskite materials (e.g. MAPbI3) has attracted substantial interest due to their unique combination of properties and potential...

The isostructural compounds ACuTe2O6 (A=Sr, Pb) consist of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions. There are 3 potentially strong interactions, the first neighbor...
