Cellulose is produced over tens of billions of tons every year in the world. It is the one of the most abundant natural polymer resources. Compared with petroleum-based...

Frustrated compounds belonging to the pyrochlore family have attracted significant interest as they can host a huge variety of exotic phases. In order to explore the rich phase...

Recently, we have found a new multiferroics material FeTe2O5Br, with simultaneous ferroelectric and incommensurate magnetic orderings appear at TN = 11 K. Our neutron...

Low-dimensional quantum magnetism continues to be of great theoretical and experimental interest, as reduced dimensionality supports strong quantum fluctuations which can result...

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...

LiOsO3 is a very unusual metallic ferroelectric. This experiment aims to distinguish between two contrasting possibilities for the ground state of this material which can be...

We have grown large single crystals of ZrB12 with an image furnace at Warwick. Our previous uSR study on a polycrystalline sample of superconducting ZrB12 using MuSR at ISIS...

One of strongly “pi-d” interacting systems in organic material is lambda-(STF)2MCl4 (M= Fe, Ga) (STF is C10S6Se2H8: bisethylenedithiodiselenadithiafulvalene). Ga compound...

The [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes are some of the best catalysts know for generating hydrogen. We have an ongoing programme to understand how their chemistry works, and to...

The one dimensional material In2VO5 contains frustrated zigzag chains of corner sharing V 4+ (S = 1/2) square based pyramids interspersed with sheets of edge sharing InO6...

In order to explore quantum spin ice physics, we wish to focus on the non-Kramers Pr-based pyrochlores with general formula Pr2M2O7 (M =Sn, Zr, Hf). There is a recent...

Tb2Ti2O7 is a pyrochlore antiferromagnet that has previously been viewed as a spin liquid. This description fails to describe key features of its physics and more recently the...

The intermetallic family R5T4 (R = rare earth, T = Si or Ge) exhibit a wide range of magnetic phenomena (eg., magnetic order, GMR, and enhanced magnetocaloric effect) which are...

Progress in the investigation of emergent ground states and novel excitations in condensed matter systems relies on the existence of materials that are well described by simple...

We propose to study PdxIrTe2, which evolves from a charge-orbital density wave state to a superconducting state with doping. It has a similar structural motif, doping-dependent...

A new layered iridate material, Cu2IrO3, has been fabricated. This material is isostructural with the much-studied Na2IrO3 and has a nearly ideal honeycomb structure that should...

In the archetypal hydrogen–oxygen proton exchange membrane fuel cell design, a proton-conducting polymer membrane (typically Nafion) contains the electrolyte solution that...

RT2Al10 is a new series of rare-earth-based ternary aluminide compounds that show a variety of magnetic phenomena. This proposal is for a muSR study on three of its members to...

The quantum spin liquid (QSL) state is one of the possible outcomes of quantum fluctuations advancing magnetic systems into a disordered phase. After more than 30 years of quest...

Pure Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7 exhibit spin ice behaviour. The recent discovery of monopoles and "magnetricity" in Dy2Ti2O7 spin ice has only added to the interest in these...
