This proposal is part of our project to investigate the unusual physics of 5d transition metal oxides. In particular, we are studying two samples of the chemical composition...

We propose longitudinal muon spin depolarization measurements for two additional samples of Si(1-x)Ge(x) alloys in order to complete our study of the dependence of Mu(-/0)...

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...

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...

This proposal describes an in situ muSR experiment on a hydrogen storage material, MgH2. This is because MgH2 attracts a special attention due to the fact that the hydrogen...

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...

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

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)...

This proposal describes a muSR experiment on a garnet-type Li ionic conductor, Li6.75La3Zr1.75Nb0.25O12 under electric field (E) in order to study a diffusive behavior under a...

This proposal describes a muSR experiment on Li-Mn-oxides to see Li diffusion, because muSR is a powerful technique to detect it in the compounds containing magnetic ions....

We propose a series of measurements on anatase and brookite Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) to investigate the motional dynamics of positively charged Mu centres and their transition...

Nearly all polymers form glasses and the glass transition at temperature Tg dominates many physical properties of polymers that are relevant for their applications. The most...

A grand challenge facing society today is the need to develop green energy technologies. For instance, as we increase our use of renewable energy sources to cut our consumption...

Green dioptase is a naturally occurring mineral, that has a deep green colour, similar to that of an emerald, and with a chemical formula of CuSiO3.H2O. The Cu lies in quasi-1D...

This is a part of our Li-diffusion study in battery materials with muSR. In order for balancing safety and energy density, a solid solution system between LiFePO4 and LiMnPO4...

Magnetic skyrmions are vortex-like objects characterised by an integer topological winding number. They have been observed in the spin structures of several magnetic materials...

Skyrmions are topologically protected, vortex-like nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials. As we have recently...

Potassium tetracyanoquinodimenthane (KTCNQ) undergoes a spin-Peierls (SP) transition at 396K where a transformation from uniform to dimerised TCNQ- molecules in 1D columns...

We propose to use muons to probe the diffusion processes which occur within a battery anode during cycling in an all solid-state battery. Such solid-state battery configurations...
