A continued study of muonium diffusion in transparent conducting oxides (TCO) are proposed. We have ZF depolarization measurements conducted up to room temperatures for SnO2 and...

This experiment is focused on exploring and harnessing magnetic ground state of the multiferroic materials, with particular emphasis on the hexagonal (h), rare-earth ferrites...

The recent interest in carbon-based materials like graphene stimulated a deeper analysis of the magnetism in graphite defects. In a previous µSR experiment we observed an...

Multiferroic systems have been a long-lasting and productive research field of condensed matter physics in both fundamental and applied perspectives. Useful multiferroic systems...

Lithium (Li) ion batteries is the most common battery technology but lately also sodium (Na) batteries are being considered. One reason is that the Li-reserves are limited and...

The crystal unit cell of mayenite, 12CaO.7Al2O3, consists of a cubic lattice of [Ca24Al28O64]4+ with the remaining 2*O2- contained in cages, which are linked by channels within...

This experiment proposes to measure the MuSR signal in undoped phthalocyanine (Pc) samples of NiPc, PbPc, FePc and TiOPc, in order to clarify the existence of the paramagnetic...

Ferroelectric BaTiO3 (BT) constitutes a base system for many practical applications ranging from classical capacitors to tunable dielectrics. A dielectric response in BT is...

We propose longitudinal muon spin depolarization measurements to extract the energy for the T-site Mu acceptor level in mid-range SiGe alloys where a direct determination of the...

We propose to obtain the detailed temperature dependent diffusion characteristics for diamagnetic muonium defect centres, assumed to be a 'bare' muon, in selected members of the...

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...

With increasing demands for high performance/capacity rechargeable batteries the materials science community is currently facing two severe issues. First of all there is from a...

Reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steels such as Eurofer 97 represent the most mature option for the fusion blanket structural material. Recently, powder metallurgy or...

The origin of the Invar effect, whereby certain ferromagnetic alloys exhibit near zero thermal expansion around room temperature is still not properly understood. Although the...

Continued investigation of magnetic fluctuations in the Mn-doiped chalcopyrite semiconductor ZnGeP2 is proposed using LF-MuSR depolarization rates. Due to ferromagnetism above...

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...

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...
