muSR studies of expanded fullerides close to the Mott transition
Fulleride superconductivity is experiencing a renaissance of interest following our recent discovery of superconductivity proximate to an antiferromagnetic Mott insulating state... -
Location of Ferromagnetism in Palladium Bionanoparticles using a Novel In Sit...
We propose to develop and carry out a novel in situ SR/electrochemical technique to identify the mechanism underlying ferromagnetism in palladium bionanoparticles. We... -
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)... -
Multiple phase transitions in U2Pt2Sn studied with muon-spin-rotation and rel...
U2Pt2Sn crystallizes in the tetragonal Zr3Al2-type structure (P42/mnm, Z = 4), where uranium atoms occupy two different sites. Our measurements of bulk properties have shown... -
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... -
Novel Mechanisms of Green Tea Anti-Oxidants by Mu-SR, INS and DFT Experiments
A proposal is made to continue ongoing ALC-muSR experiments on the green-tea anti-oxidant EGCG and its analogue. Several overlapping resonances observed on HiFi made it... -
High Field Studies of BEDT-TTF and kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2X
The kappa structural phase of BEDT-TTF salts incorporating various anions X provides an extremely interesting series of layered-structure strongly-correlated materials, whose... -
Nonmonotonic phase diagrams in molecular magnets
We propose longitudinal field muSR on a 2D molecular magnetic system which has been suggested to have an unusual B-T phase diagram. Our goal is to probe the transition from... -

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... -
RF μSR in the gas phase: understanding a ¿null¿ result
We have made a significant effort to develop Radio Frequency μSR (RF μSR) as a technique for spectroscopy of organic radicals in the gas phase. Realising this method... -
muSR in the presence of significant spin-orbit coupling
The great majority of known muonium defect centres and muonium substituted organic radicals have essentially spin-only magnetism, with few exhibiting any noticeable departure... -
Muon radicals in the metastable phases of Sulphur
Following our investigation of alpha-orthorhombic sulphur, we will measure level crossing spectra of some other allotropes and phases, to find if the muon radical observed in... -
Field induced spin Luttinger liquid phase in a spin ladder
Spin ladders present a class of low dimensional quantum magnets that occupy a regime of subtle behaviour which lies between the stark extremes of a one-dimensional chain or... -

Spin based electronics (spintronics) is one of the most exciting and challenging areas in nanotechnology. It is expected to be of major scientific and social impact. Very little... -
Electron polarisation in CdS and CdTe
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... -
