Recent research in to Carbon Nanotubes filled with magnetic materials has produced some interesting results that have the potential to bring about new computing technology. In...

Lead Halide perovskite solar cells are the next generation of solar cells, likely to over take silicon and organic solar cells in applications within the next 5-10 years. Lead...

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...

Properties of graphene that make it an important material are its exceptionally high conductivity, massless fermions and a high velocity of electrons near the Dirac points....

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...

Polymeric solar cells are a promising alternative for producing clean and renewable energy due to the possibility of fabricating them onto large areas of lightweight, flexible...

Interactions between CO2 and clay have attracted interest in the scientific community recently. This is partly motivated by the presence of large amounts of clays in caprock...

Single crystal, bulk Si1-xGex alloys are available across the alloy composition range, and provide opportunity for study of alloy properties in transition between the two...

LiZn2Mo3O8 is a highly unusual geometrically frustrated material: the magnetic moments are associated not with single ions but with small transition-metal clusters. The spin is...

Lead Halide perovskite solar cells are the next generation of solar cells, likely to over take silicon and organic solar cells in applications within the next 5-10 years. Lead...

This study involves attempting to understand the Li atom diffusion within Li-intercalated hexagonal boron nitride. Muons present a significant advantage as they are sensitive to...

We propose to investigate the low energy spin and orbital fluctuations in Bi1.7V8O16 which displays a metal to insulator transition. This work will be performed in conjunction...

Cs2Cu3SnF12 and Rb2Cu3SnF12 have a distorted kagome structure and the latter exhibits a pinwheel valence bond solid (VBS) state that has been demonstrated by inelastic neutron...

The response of the magnetic ordering of layered cobalt oxide chalcogenides to changes in electron count will be investigated in detail following a preliminary experiment at...

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...

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...

We ask for 3 days on EMU to study the Muon spectroscopy of both LiBH4 and Ca(BH4)2 as a function of temperature from 90K-650K. These materials have been extensively...

The development of high energy density electrode materials is increasingly important for EV applications. Chief amongst these are the layered oxide materials LiNixMnyCozO2,...

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

Amorphous molecular magnetic materials Ni2(OA) (OA:organic acceptor) were reported to exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperatures >400K. This work is controversial as it...
