Several distinct families of layered perovskites have been shown experimentally to display ferroelectricity. The most recent of these is the Dion-Jacobson (DJ) family, typified...

In order to detect oxygen diffusion in electrolyte materials in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, we here want to propose a muSR experiment on three oxide electrolytes exhibitng good...

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)...

The main aim of the proposed experiment is to probe the cation distributions in a series of half-Heusler A(MZ) intermetallic phases that are considered for use in thermoelectric...

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 year Nobel Prize award to the discovery of graphene has evidenced the relevance of this material, which has outstanding physical properties and promising technological...

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 is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-stateconfigurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen in...

Nitrides of alkali and alkaline earth metals are an interesting set of materials specifically for their potential in reversible hydrogen storage. However, many fundamental...

Sr0.75Y0.25CoO2.62 is a promising cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells. It shows metallic behaviour above 600K and molecular dynamics simulations have concluded that...

Ions are often diffusing in solids. Among many ions, H+, Li+, Na+, O2-, and F- are known to become mobile at high temperatures in solids and they are used for fuel cells and...

We wish to perform muon spectroscopic experiments on materials from two ceramic systems that are of interest for possible solid electrolyte applications in lithium-ion battery...

Materials that show oxide-ion mobility (solid electrolytes) and/or reversible uptake and release of oxygen (oxygen storage materials) have important uses in applications...

BeO is a promising material in order to improve HfO2-based MOSFET devices, and a candidate substitute of HfO2 as high-k gate material. The electrical properties of BeO can be...

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

In recent years, there has been a great interest in quantum spin liquid (QSL). The QSL state is characterized by no conventional order parameter associated with a broken...

This proposal requests 7 days of beamtime on the quasielastic neutron scattering spectrometer OSIRIS to investigate the mechanism of hydride ion mobility in the recently...

We propose to study the crystal structure of the inverse spinel Li3CrV2O8 using variable temperature powder neutron diffraction. By conducting these neutron experiments, we will...

We propose to make the first detailed structural study of some polymorphs of gallium oxide that remain poorly characterised and yet have applications in catalysis and are used...

The work will aim to use the unique property of muons, as sensitive probes of their local magnetic environment, to investigate the source of the electronic magnetism observed in...
