Extreme muon quantum effects will be studied in the simple organic molecule acetone using ALC spectroscopy to determine the quantum averaged hyperfine parameters of the state...

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

LiZn2Mo3O8 is a highly unusual geometrically frustrated material: the magnetic moments are associated not with single ions but with small transition-metal clusters. The spin is...

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...

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...

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 superconductivity is a very important quantum phenomenon occurring in many materials. However the microscopic origin of it is still not completely understood and is one of...

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...

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...

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....

Cs2Cu3SnF12 and Rb2Cu3SnF12 have a distorted kagome structure and the latter exhibits a pinwheel valence bond solid (VBS) state that has been demonstrated by inelastic neutron...

The quaternary boronitride superconductor La3Ni2B2N3-d (Tc~12-14 K) has a layered structure where LaN-LaN-LaN triple layer blocks alternate with NiB layers. These NiB sheets are...
