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...

The technology of organic electronics unlocks new ways to create semiconductor devices which are impossible using more conventional materials. The organic semiconductors at...

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...

Materials containing triangular structures of magnetic moment are an important pathway to studying unconventional magnetic phenomena that arise from the geometrical frustration....

Au4V is an extremely unusual alloy. Neither Au nor V is generally found to carry a magnetic moment in the metallic state, yet the body-centred tetragonal (bct), structurally...

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...

The system 1T-TaS2 is a charge density wave (CDW) insulator below 180 K that has one residual spin 1/2 for every 13 Ta atoms in the modulated CDW structure. These spins and...

The kappa structural phase of BEDT-TTF salts incorporating various anions X provides an extremely interesting series of layered-structure strongly-correlated materials, whose...

LiFePO4 is cathode material for Li ion batteries. One of the key functional properties is the Li-ion diffusion. Theoretical calculations showed that Li diffusion along the [010]...

Quantum phase transitions (QPT's) are phase transitions that are driven by zero-temperature quantum fluctuations, and are accessed by varying a non-thermal control parameter....

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have emerged as an exciting class of materials with the report of superconductivity in alkali doped picene with Tc=18 K. However, due to poor...

We plan to measure the electric field distribution in epoxy resin based dielectrics close to breakdown using muons to detect the free charge carriers that may contribute to...

The iron-based superconductors are at the forefront of the research on unconventional superconductivity. The Barium-122 systems, doped with electrons, reveal a non-trivial...

Batteries are ubiquitous in everday applications but making them cheaper, safer, and able to store more energy could widen their use still further. Many rechargeable batteries...

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...

In order to improve the performance of future energy devices, nano-structured materials is one of the most promising routes. LiFePO4 is a commercial battery cathode material...

ScF3 is a material with the ReO3 structure which shows negative thermal expansion. This experiment will use implanted muons to create an F-mu-F state in this structure and then...

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...

The development of high energy density electrode materials is increasingly important for EV applications. Chief amongst these are the layered oxide materials LiNixMnyCozO2,...
