Elucidating the magnetic nature of alpha-RuCl3 - a rediscovered honeycomb system
Materials with layered honeycomb structures have been subject to a strenuous research effort in the past couple of years in an effort to find materials that exemplify the... -
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... -
Repolarization of Radicals in Liquids (RB920344)
The recovery of the muon polarization in a longitudinal magnetic field has been used to obtain the muon hfcs of organic radicals. In pure benzene there is a single step in the... -
Characterisation of Green-Tea Radical Scavengers by ALC-MuSR and High-Level C...
We propose to characterise selected radical structures of the green-tea anti-oxidant flavenoid EGCG (& selected analogues), by DFT/post-HF computation and ALC-MuSR, towards... -
Muon-spin rotation study of the in-plane magnetic penetration depth of \refraof
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... -
Spin glass behaviour in the disorder-free geometrically frustrated magnet Yb2...
Our susceptibility studies of the frustrated magnet Yb2Sn2O7 has revealed a spin glass transition of the Yb3+ magnetic lattice at T_g = 140 mK. To our knowledge, this... -
Electron polarisation of deep muonium states
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... -
High Field muSR of Dy2Ti2O7 along [111]: Investigating a partial magnetizatio...
Dy2Ti2O7 is a pyrochlore antiferromagnet that has a partial magnetization plateau between 0.1 and 0.9T for magnetic fields applied along the [111] direction. This represents a... -
Anomalous temperature dependence of the ALC spectrum of polybutadiene
The relative importance of factors affecting the low temperature ALC spectra of organic molecular systems such as polymers and small molecules is a topical issue. Polybutadiene... -
Muon level-crossing resonances as a probe for studying antiferromagnets at pu...
We propose a set of measurements using the HiFi spectrometer in which muon level-crossing resonances are used to probe the internal field inside antiferromagnets in which the... -
Muon Spin Resonance investigations on two quantum critical points in CeFeAs1-...
Recently, it has been reported that CeFeAsO belongs to orthorhombic structure where both Fe and Ce moments order antiferromagnetically around 140K and 4K, respectively, whereas... -
Probing the superconducting ground state of the centrosymmetric superconducto...
This proposal plans to investigate the superconducting ground state of LaNiGa2 which is a centrosymmetric superconductor with a superconducting transition of ~2K. Heat capacity... -
Probing the spin dynamics in the pseudo-quaternary Y1-xErxNi2B2C compounds
Our uSR measurements on superconducting Y1-xErxNi2B2C shows a slowing of the Er spin dynamics upon cooling to 2.5 K, but the depolarisation rate does not critically diverge and...
