At low temperatures and high magnetic fields, the electron in a muonium or radical state may be polarised if it has an opportunity to reach thermal equilibrium. Such a...

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent muSR studies of Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous...

The degradation of an easel painting typically results in canvas loss in strength and elasticity so that it does not effectively support the paint structure. Lining of the...

Lubricants contain a complex mixtures of polymers and base oils that must provide protection to moving surfaces with minimal energy loss due to friction or viscous drag. There...

We propose to obtain the detailed temperature dependent diffusion characteristics for diamagnetic muonium defect centres, assumed to be a 'bare' muon, in selected members of the...

Antique bronze objects made of Cu-Sn/Cu-Zn alloys have been widely characterised; unfortunately, the employment of binary alloys gave way to the use of more common ternary...

This experiment aims at studying the magnetic behaviour of the molecular square complex {[Fe{B(pz)_4}(CN)_3]_2[Co(bik)_2]_2}(ClO_4)_2 . 3H_2O [B(pz)_4 = tetrapyrazolylborate,...

The proposed experiment aims to study the dynamics of trehalose/glycerol mixtures and lysozyme in presence of trehalose/glycerol mixtures at different relative concentration....

The proposed experiment aims to explore in detail these two effects in a thermodynamic range at ~25 MPa over a temperature range of 280° to 600°C, never investigated before,...

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

In order to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, and to meet the UK's commitment of a reduction of 80% by 2050, it is necessary to make major advances in efficient, clean and...

High temperature superconductivity in cuprates arises upon adding or removing electrons into parent Mott insulators, but many other competing states such as spin/charge density...

Most of Nd-pyrochlores show all-in-all-out long-ranged order ground state at low temperatures. Recently unconventional slow spin dynamics are reported in the paramagnetic state...

To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently...

In this proposal we intend to complete the characterization of the hydrogen impurity in solar cell materials Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) and Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS), by using the positive...

Very recently Sato et al., JPSJ 2018 have investigated superconductivity in the single crystals of CeIr3 (Tc = 3.4 K, which is highest among Ce compounds), which shows a weak...

We request 5 days on VESUVIO in order to examine the sensitivity of 87Sr (n,) resonances and DINS to the metal-insulator and liquid-solid transitions in the Sr-NH3...

The proposing team is interested in exploring the low-temperature quantum "rattling" dynamics of helium atom(s) trapped in water-based cages (namely the so-called "clathrate...

Ethanol plays an important role in the human metabolism. It is in particular known to act as a drug enhancer by increasing trans-membrane permeability, and as an anesthetic....

Diamonds provide our only direct samples of the very deep Earth and understanding their origin is consequently of great interest to Earth Scientists. The origin of diamonds can...
