We propose to develop and carry out a novel in situ SR/electrochemical technique to identify the mechanism underlying ferromagnetism in palladium bionanoparticles. We...

One of us has recently found experimental evidence for unconventional superconductivity in a newly synthesized three-dimensional nearly antiferromagnetic metal, LaAg1−xMnx...

Superconductivity in systems which lack inversion symmetry is expected to give rise to a host of unconventional effects, including mixed parity ground-states, and the formation...

While investigating the ordering and magnetic dynamics in La2-xSrxCoO4 we found some intriguing behaviour for samples with small x, which would imply that the phase diagram is...

This proposal aims to characterise the spin dynamics of three Pr-based pyrochlores that may be realisations of quantum spin ice materials. The lower moment and larger wave...

This experiment is focused on exploring and harnessing magnetic ground state of the multiferroic materials, with particular emphasis on the hexagonal (h), rare-earth ferrites...

Recently we have investigated Pr2Pd3Ge5 and Pr2Rh3Ge5 compounds which form in the orthorhombic structure. Pr2Pd3Ge5 exhibits two magnetic transitions at TN1 = 7.5 K and TN2 =...

The cubic compound Ce3Ir4Sn13 shows complex step-like magnetic ordering at 2.1K and 0.6K in the heat capacity (also at 2.18K) and Hall effect. The 2.1K transition is furthermore...

Properties of graphene that make it an important material are its exceptionally high conductivity, massless fermions and a high velocity of electrons near the Dirac points....

We have performed further measurements on Dy2Ti2O7 and confirmed the observation of magnetic charge transport. Given the time constraints of our previous experiment not all...

We propose a detailed study of the motional dynamics of Mu and the low temperature Mu0-like states in anatase and rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). An initial study on only rutile...

The recent interest in carbon-based materials like graphene stimulated a deeper analysis of the magnetism in graphite defects. In a previous µSR experiment we observed an...

Pyrochlore magnets are one of the cornerstones of frustrated magnetism, with two interpenetrating lattices of corner-sharing tetrahedra on which magnetic ions can be placed. By...

In a recent series of successful experiments at PSI and ISIS we were able to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the rate of transfer of a small molecule (allyl alcohol)...

Tb2Ti2O7 is one of two compounds identified as potential quantum spin ices. As with other oxide pyrochlores the properties depend sensitively on the oxygen content. Most...

This proposal is to explore the magnetic properties and molecular dynamics of a new class of magnetic ionic liquid surfactants1 (MILSs) (see Fig. 1). The MILSs investigated here...

The spin relaxation rates of free radicals in solution can provide valuable information about the dynamics of molecular tumbling in solution, and solvent-radical interactions....

In this proposal we wish to explore how the RF-uSR technique might be developed for measurements akin to FT-NMR. Our work will focus on the broadband excitation of paramagnetic...

The rare earth titanates and stannates cristallising in the pyrochlore crystal structure are prone to magnetic frustration effects due to the topology of their lattice. We have...

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