Oxide ion conductors are technologically important materials with applications in solid oxide fuel cells, oxygen sensors /pumps and membranes for oxygen separation. Two types of...

We propose zero-field depolarization measurements to investigate the motional dynamics of diamagnetic muonium centers in hafnium oxide (HfO2), tungsten oxide (WO3) and zirconium...

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...

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

The recently discovered new triangular lattice QSL candidate YbMgGaO4 has attracted great interest on rare earth frustrated magnets. Another triangular lattice rare earth...

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...

We ask for 3 days on EMU to study the Muon spectroscopy of both LiBH4 and Ca(BH4)2 as a function of temperature from 90K-650K. These materials have been extensively...

Research on positive insertion electrodes for high performance batteries has seen immense interest in fluoride containing compounds, since higher operating potentials can be...

The AX2O7 series has received much recent attention due to its ability to host a wide range of 4+ cations. The members of this series have been shown to exhibit complex...

We wish to complete muon spectroscopic experiments on materials from a ceramic system of interest for possible solid electrolyte applications in lithium-ion battery devices:...

Experiment is proposed to identify magnetic polaron bound to the muon using RF-muSR. In recent experiment at TRIUMF magnetic polaron was found in transverse field and its...

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,...

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...

We propose to obtain the temperature dependence of the diamagnetic spin-precession amplitudes up to 1100 K for the three electrical types of 4H-SiC in order to extract the Mu...

Oxyhydrides represent a new class of materials which is as yet poorly understood. The recent exciting discovery of the first purely hydride conducting oxyhydride is promising...
