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...

Pyrochlore magnets are one of the cornerstones of frustrated magnetism, with two interpenetrating lattices of corner-sharing tetrahedra on which magnetic ions can be placed. By...

We plan to study the non-thermal microwave (MW) effects on H2O2 through its reaction with muonium under MW irradiation. The key objectives are 1) for the first time definitively...

In a recent series of successful experiments at PSI and ISIS we were able to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the rate of transfer of a small molecule (allyl alcohol)...

When a muonium in liquid water encounters with a singlet oxygen molecule, it will go through a different reaction/spin conversion mechanism compared with the known case of the...

A new member of the class of S=1/2 triangular lattice quantum spin liquids will be studied with muons. It is obtained by replacing Cu with Ag in the original compound...

U2Pt2Sn crystallizes in the tetragonal Zr3Al2-type structure (P42/mnm, Z = 4), where uranium atoms occupy two different sites. Our measurements of bulk properties have shown...

This proposal describes a muSR experiment for studying a diffusive nature of Li ions in novel anode material for Li-ion batteries. The target compound, LixY2Ti2O5S2 (LxYTOS,...

This proposal is to explore the magnetic properties and molecular dynamics of a new class of magnetic ionic liquid surfactants1 (MILSs) (see Fig. 1). The MILSs investigated here...

In this proposal we wish to explore how the RF-uSR technique might be developed for measurements akin to FT-NMR. Our work will focus on the broadband excitation of paramagnetic...

The rare earth titanates and stannates cristallising in the pyrochlore crystal structure are prone to magnetic frustration effects due to the topology of their lattice. We have...

Amongst layered materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are studied extensively due to their complex phase diagrams exhibiting competing phases. Intercalation...

We aim to explore the groundstate of a new near-perfect S=1/2 kagome antiferromagnetic (KAFM) system using MuSR at the lowest possible temperatures. The title compound is...

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...

Lead Halide perovskite solar cells are the next generation of solar cells, likely to over take silicon and organic solar cells in applications within the next 5-10 years. Lead...

The extreme quantum nature of muons and muonium in condensed matter is the result of having a mass that is nine times lighter than that of a hydrogen atom. While this quantum...

Geometrically frustrated magnetic systems have been widely studied in the search for novel quantum states of matter. The fcc lattice Ba2YMoO6 has been shown to be a valence bond...

The origin of a mysterious pseudogap region in high-Tc superconductors is a challenging issue. It was proposed that the pseudogap is caused by a circulating-current order...

This study involves attempting to understand the Li atom diffusion within Li-intercalated hexagonal boron nitride. Muons present a significant advantage as they are sensitive to...

A proposal is made to continue ongoing ALC-muSR experiments on the green-tea anti-oxidant EGCG and its analogue. Several overlapping resonances observed on HiFi made it...
