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...

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...

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)...

The origin of a mysterious pseudogap region in high-Tc superconductors is a challenging issue. It was proposed that the pseudogap is caused by a circulating-current order...

The mechanism of action of inhalation anaesthetics such as N2O and the inert gases are unclear. Direct binding to receptor sites on membranes would rely on weak intermolecular...

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...

The origin of the pseudogap region below a temperature T* is at the heart of the mysteries of high-Tc cuprate superconductors.The proposed broken time-reversal and inversion...

In recent years, the noble metals nanoparticles (MNPs) have been the subject of intense interest in areas of materials science, biotechnology, medicine and organic chemistry for...

Most of the one dimensional spin chain compounds are antiferromagnetic with a rich magnetic phase diagram due to the magnetic frustration. We have synthesized Ba3CrS5 and...

Organic semiconductors have been of major interest in recent years. Amplified by the transition from fundamental physics to new commercial products and technologies, this new...

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...

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....

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...

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...

This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-state configurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen...

Following recent experiments in which the shallow donor muon states in semiconductors are found to have significant electron polarisation at low temperatures and high fields, we...

Muon spin relaxation will be used to study the low temperature magnetic properties of a new metal-oxalato-framework compound [(C2H5)3NH]2Cu2(C2O4)3. This has a three-dimensional...

Radio Frequency µSR provides a direct method for accurately determining muon hyperfine coupling constants, Aµ, for muoniated radical species. The method complements the well...

Nitrous oxide, N2O, is an inhalant anaesthetic with a long history of use dating back to 1844. It is most commonly used as a light sedative in dentistry, or in child birth and...

Frustrated compounds belonging to the pyrochlore family have attracted significant interest as they can host a huge variety of exotic phases. In order to explore the rich phase...
