Understanding Structural Changes in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) on Heating
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) prior to the process of pore collapse or crystallisation. We will study the... -
Coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism in the half-Heusler compound E...
This half-Heusler compound is also a semi-metal, with a low carrier density and non-trivial topological features. The crystal structure is also non-centrosymmetric, which is... -
Search for spin liquid ground state in the disorder free triangular lattice K...
Rare-earth delafossites were recently proposed as promising candidates for the realization of an effective S = 1/2 quantum spin liquid on the triangular lattice [1, 2]. In... -
Clarifying the role of acid and base dopants in the hydrogen-ordering phase t...
Using ISIS facilities, our team has discovered three new phases of ice: ices XIII, XIV and XV. These phases form in the presence of small amounts of hydrochloric acid. Yet, the... -
muSR investigation to probe spin fluctuations in the ordered phase of (Nd1-xC...
From our current results of (Nd1-xCax)2Ir2O7, the internal field at 1.5 K increases with increasing the hole doping, the relaxation rate at 50 K increases with increasing the... -
Can photo-MuSR method measure carrier recombination lifetime in direct gap se...
In the past years we have developed a method measuring carrier recombination lifetime in semiconductors using the photo-MuSR setup in HIFI. These studies have focused on... -
Determination of the Magnetic Properties of LaFeAs1-xPxO Across Multiple Magn...
LaFeAs1-xPxO has recently been proposed to display unusual properties as a function of P doping with two distinct superconducting (SC) domes separated by a possible AFM phase as... -
Study of quadrupolar interactions in aromatic liquids: Benzene, hexafluoroben...
The non-covalent interactions between aromatic rings are of fundamental importance in large number biological and chemical processes. Examples include protein tertiary... -
Specular Reflectivity and Off-specular scattering from artificial magnetic do...
The study investigates artificially designed in-plane magnetic domain patterns by polarised neutron reflectometry and off-specular scattering. Stripe domains with in-plane... -
A µSR stoichiometry study of TixV1-x alloys superconductivity in the presen...
This is a continuation proposal, for work carried out previously on the EMU and MuSR spectrometers. We have determined that spin fluctuations are present in this system, by... -

Frustration-stabilized skyrmions in centrosymmetric compounds
Skyrmions are chiral magnetic spin textures that exist in a variety of different magnetic materials. Skyrmions are usually stabilized in noncentrosymmetric chiral materials by... -
Characterizing neutral and diamagnetic Mu in beta-Ga2O3
We propose a series of LF-MuSR measurements to complete a study on the neutral and diamagnetic muonium (Mu) states in single-crystal beta-Ga2O3 where Mu is being used as an... -
The nature of excitations in a molecular Haldane system
It is well known that an S = 1 antiferromagnetic spin chain is predicted to have a quantum disordered ground state and a gap in its excitation spectrum. This so-called Haldane... -
A uSR Study of Non-Centrosymmetric Superconductor Re6 Hf
In conventional superconductors gauge symmetry is broken, while in unconventional superconductors other symmetries may also be broken. There has recently been a great deal of... -
Studies of Free Radical Final States on Au nanoparticles by RF-muSR and ALC S...
Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent µSR studies of bare Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous...
