DYNAMICS OF SURFACTANTS IN LUBRICATING OILS
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)... -
Organometallic Radicals
A 19-electron organometallic radical was produced by the reaction of muonium with ferrocene and characterized by avoided level crossing muon spin resonance (ALC-muSR) and... -
Spin relaxation of short-lived spin-labelled radicals in solution
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.... -
Muon charactersiation of dielectric insulation system under applied electric ...
We plan to measure the electric field distribution in epoxy resin based dielectrics close to breakdown using muons to detect the free charge carriers that may contribute to... -
Spin Rotation Experiments at a Pulsed Muon Source using Broadband RF Pulses
In this proposal we wish to explore how the RF-MuSR technique might be developed for measurements akin to FT-NMR. Our work will focus on the broadband excitation of paramagnetic... -

Identification and dynamics of muon states in octabutoxy-phthalocyanine
The current experiment proposes to identify and study the spin dynamics of the muon states formed in octabutoxy-phthalocyanine (oBu-H2Pc) using the avoided level crossing... -
Muon Spin Relaxation studies of Ni2TCNQ, Ni(TCNQ)2 and related materials
Amorphous molecular magnetic materials Ni2(OA) (OA:organic acceptor) were reported to exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperatures >400K. This work is controversial as it... -

Muonium in alpha-boron
Previous muon experiments have identified a muonium state in the commonly occuring, but complex, beta rhombohedral form of elemental boron. To complement recent theoretical work... -
Investigation of carrier transport in the organic semiconductor 8-hydroxy-qui...
Using the Emu spectrometer at ISIS we have recently studied charge carrier transport in the technologically important molecule 8-hydroxy-quinoline aluminium, by probing the... -
Electron spin relaxation measurements in polymeric systems
This proposal looks to study the electron spin relaxation using high field ALC measurements in two polymers, which differ only by the non-metal (i.e S or Se) in the polymer... -
Understanding Spin Density Variations in Fluorinated TCNQ Adducts
There is a large emphisis on fucntialising materials to create magnetic and electrical materials. Tetracyanoquinodimethane is a famous material discovered in the 1960 and ws... -
Investigation of the spin dynamics of Shastry-Sutherland phase in Ce2-xPd2+yI...
The Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL) can be described as a 2D square lattice built up from a network of dimers disposed orthogonally and has been observed in SrCu2(BO2)3.... -
Spin-lattice relaxation in holmium-based high symmetry single-molecule magnets
The study of spin-lattice relaxation in mononuclear lanthanide complexes is justified by the potential applications of these so-called single-molecule magnets in quantum... -
Multiferroicity in metal-formate perovskites
Recent work has revealed that metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can also exhibit this multiferroicity. These materials are particularly interesting since their structures are... -
End-Game: Cornering Solvent Effects on H-Addition in Green Tea Anti-Oxidants
Our ongoing project to characterise radical scavenging by the green tea anti-oxidant EGCG and its D-ring analogue, (3,4,5-(OH)3-Bz) is near-complete. ALC-MuSR experiments on the... -
Identifying the mechanism behind spin relaxation in organic materials
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... -
Utilising Quadrupolar Level Crossing Resonance to Gain Important Information ...
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... -
Study of the dependence of electron spin relaxation on molecule length in acenes
We wish to measure the ALCs of a series of polyacene molecules made of a different number of rings. We would like to identify the dependence of the electron spin relaxation rate...
