We propose to solve the long standing controversy regarding the magnetic state of off-stoichiometric Heusler alloys Ni2Mn1.4In0.6 and Ni1.8Co0.2Mn1.4In0.6 at temperatures below...

A basic understanding of the dynamic processes in polystyrene (PS) is a question of utmost interest and has technological ramifications due to its importance in commercial...

The structure and dynamics of hydrogen (H) defects in tungsten recently become a topic of major interest since this metal has been chosen as shielding material for the next step...

Vanadium oxides have attracted considerable attention, not only due to their potential technological applications, but also because of the rich variety of structures and...

We have recently reported colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in NdMnAsO0.95F0.05. The CMR in NdMnAsO1-xFx arises due to competition between a strongly correlated antiferromagnetic...

We propose longitudinal muon spin depolarization measurements to extract the energy for the T-site Mu acceptor level in mid-range SiGe alloys where a direct determination of the...

The overall aims of our project is to advance the performance of NIBs in terms of energy and power density by creating a closed-loop approach for materials design,...

Skyrmions are topological objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials. As we have recently demonstrated in our transverse field...

Skyrmions are chiral spin textures that exist in a variety of magnetic materials. These states are topologically non-trivial, which gives them stability expected to be useful...

Skyrmions are topologically protected vortex-like spin textures, and have been attracting increasing attention due to their potential technological applications for spintronics....

Anion-exchange membranes are used in alkaline fuel cells, a technology which allows for the production of power from hydrogen in impure gas streams. Very little is known about...

CuTCNQ (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane) is material which exhibits electrical resistive switching at 300K and has two structural forms (I and II), each with very...

The goal of this experiment is to better understand the molecular dynamics in polystyrene in order to shed light on the discrepancy between beta-NMR and low-energy muSR...

Proton-conducting polymer membranes have significant technological applications in hydrogen or methanol fuel cells. muSR can shed light on the mechanisms for proton transport in...

The fluorinated ionomer Nafion is a material that provides efficient proton conducting membranes for application in important technological areas such as hydrogen fuel cells....

Nearly all polymers form glasses and the glass transition at temperature Tg dominates many physical properties of polymers that are relevant for their applications. The most...

Magnetic cooling promises efficiency savings at room temperature but requires rapid cycling of a magnetic refrigerant in a magnetic field. Refrigerants with first order...

We propose to carry out muon-spin relaxation to examine Li+ diffusion in AC-treated Li4Ti5O12 which contains a small amount of rutile TiO2. Measurements will be carried out over...

In recent years, the family of lead halide perovskite materials (e.g. MAPbI3) has attracted substantial interest due to their unique combination of properties and potential...

The research and development of Lead Halide perovskite solar cells are one of the most rapidly growing research areas. Since the discovery of these organic-inorganic metal...
