Observation of hydrogen diffusion in hydrogen storage materials with muSR
This is a continuation proposal describing an "in situ" muSR experiment on hydrogen storage materials. For the two previous beam-time allocated for RB1510262 and RB1520259, we... -
One- and multi-magnon excitations in a strong-leg quantum spin ladder
We propose to measure the one- and multi-magnon excitations in the first realization of a S=1/2 quantum spin ladder in the strong-leg regime. Our material, DIMPY, has very well... -
STUDY OF THE INTERACTION OF HYDROGEN IN METAL DECORATED FULLERENE
NaxC60 and LixC60 are wide theoretically studied systems for hydrogen storage. We recently investigated the hydrogen absorption/desorption of Na10C60 and we found that up to 3.5... -
The Structure of Ca- and Yb-ammonia Solutions: Polarons, Bipolarons and Elect...
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... -
muSR of Polyethylene Oxide: A Simple Proton-Conducting Polymer
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... -
Structural Investigations of Nickel-Substituted Bornite
We wish to collect powder neutron diffraction data on modified bornites, Cu5Fe1-xNixS4 (0<x<0.1) to study the impact of nickel substitution on the distribution of cations... -
Skyrmion phase dynamics in the beta-Mn-type system Co8Zn8Mn4
Skyrmions are topological objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials. As we have recently demonstrated in our transverse field...
