As part of a project to develop new electronic materials based on the coupling of electronic and structural properties in new perovskites we have been investigating the...

We propose to investigate the detailed superconducting properties of the non-centrosymmetric ternary silicides MRSi (where M=Nb, Ta R=Re, Ru). We plan to investigate the vortex...

Disorder of magnetic cations usually suppresses long-range spin order: the Curie or Néel temperature drops rapidly, and a spin glass state often results at high disorder levels....

Muon nuclear quadrupolar level crossing resonance is not a well-known technique, however it is extremely powerful. There is a large interest in probing the muon stopping site...

Two molecular magnetic systems are considered which show low-temperature ordered states. One of them is F4BImNN, a nitronyl nitroxide radical magnet, an excellent realization of...

We would like to propose a continuation experiment on Li-ion battery cathode material, Li(Ni,Co)O2. In previous experiments in 2013 and 2014, we attempted muSR technique to...

We propose a study of Mu dynamics and the low temperature Mu$^0$-like states in TiO$_{2}$ under near-IR illumination to investigate the resulting excitonic states and behaviour....

Recently, new phase with Lifshits invariant of incommensurability is reported as a solitonic spin-liquid state above the magnetically ordered phase on Fe1-yTe. It cannot not be...

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...

ZrB12 is a cluster boride compound which is superconducting at 6K although the source of the pairing interaction appears to come from the Zr ions with the boron acting as a...

This is an extention of the previous proposal (RB920385), which was awarded 7 days.The experiment has not been performed yet (scheduled in November), but we forsee...

In physics, frustration describes a situation where a system is unable to satisfy all of its internal interactions because of the geometry of its atomic structure. The most...

We wish to measure the low-field ALCs of a series of related functionalised acenes to identify which mechanism (spin orbit or hyperfine) is responsible for spin relaxation in...

There is much debate about muon stopping sites within materials and in many cases knowing where the muon stops is crucial to understanding the physical properties of different...

NaxC60 and LixC60 are wide theoretically studied systems for hydrogen storage. We recently investigated the hydrogen absorption/desorption of Na10C60 and we found that up to 3.5...

Superconductivity and the charge density wave (CDW) are two very different cooperative electronic phenomena. However, both occur because of Fermi surface instabilities and...

Pyrochlore oxides of the type A2B2O7 (where A = trivalent rare earth, B = tetravalent transition metal element) can form geometrically frustrated magnets displaying a range of...

There is a lot of interest in Li based oxides that show potential to be used within cathode materials in batteries. However, in certain oxides, the addition of magnetic ions can...

A new class of materials called Topological Crystalline Insulator(TCI) has been recently proposedtheoretically and subsequently, SnTe has been discovered to exhibit all the...
