We have recently performed zero field muon spin rotation (muSR) studies of one the shape memory alloy Ni2.04Mn1.4Sn0.56 on EMU spectrometer at ISIS and the observed results are...

We propose to solve the long standing controversy regarding the magnetic state of off-stoichiometric Heusler alloys Ni2Mn1.4In0.6 and Ni1.8Co0.2Mn1.4In0.6 at temperatures below...

Our understanding of chemical reactivity is founded on the fundamental concepts of Electrophilicity and Neucleophilicity. There are a number of attempts of limited applicability...

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...

A basic understanding of the dynamic processes in polystyrene (PS) is a question of utmost interest and has technological ramifications due to its importance in commercial...

Vanadium oxides have attracted considerable attention, not only due to their potential technological applications, but also because of the rich variety of structures and...

We have recently reported colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in NdMnAsO0.95F0.05. The CMR in NdMnAsO1-xFx arises due to competition between a strongly correlated antiferromagnetic...

The recovery of the muon polarization in a longitudinal magnetic field has been used to obtain the muon hfcs of organic radicals. In pure benzene there is a single step in the...

The overall aims of our project is to advance the performance of NIBs in terms of energy and power density by creating a closed-loop approach for materials design,...

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...

Skyrmions are chiral spin textures that exist in a variety of magnetic materials. These states are topologically non-trivial, which gives them stability expected to be useful...

Anion-exchange membranes are used in alkaline fuel cells, a technology which allows for the production of power from hydrogen in impure gas streams. Very little is known about...

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

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...

In this proposal, we wish to study the origin of the multiferroic nature in Sr4Fe2(CO3)O6. In the magnetization data, antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering appears at TN = 340 K and...

We propose a study to characterize diffusive motion of muonium, charge cycles and Mu0 states in vanadium dioxide (VO2) using zero and longitudinal field muon spin depolarization...

Here we propose to use muon spectroscopy to study the diffusion of sodium in hard carbon anode materials of various porosity for sodium ion batteries. Hard carbon is the most...

Since 2009, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become a topic of immense interest in the research community, while performances of PSCs are in a position to challenge the...

We propose to characterize the basic muonium/hydrogen configurations in selected rare-earth sesquioxides with the basic crystallographic structures: neodymium oxide (hexagonal A...

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...
