The emerging field of organic spintronics is especially promising for new technologies, owing to the long spin coherence times, large flexibility and low production costs of the...

Evidence of long-range order has been observed in the diffuse neutron scattering data for a single crystal of HoTbTi2O7.A spin ice like pattern and pinch points coexist with the...

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

We have recently synthesised the novel iridocuprate IrSr2Sm1.15Ce0.85Cu2O10. This material exhibits a complex temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility with multiple...

Superconductivity was recently discovered in alpha-phase FeSex with a Tc of 8 K. Selenium can be replaced with Tellurium (FeSe1-xTex) and this results in an increase in Tc to 15...

The work will aim to use the unique property of muons, as sensitive probes of their local magnetic environment, to investigate the source of the electronic magnetism observed in...

The first experiment we propose is a search for a shallow-donor signal for muonium in indium oxide. Its observation would test our assertion, based on our measurements of...

Our recent experiment showed that muons implanted into black phosphorus (the most stable allotrope of the element, with a low band gap of 0.3eV) are apparently diamagnetic, with...

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,...

This proposal describes a muSR experiment on Li-deficient Lix(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 to determine a Li diffusion coefficient as a function of the Li content x, because muSR is a...

One-dimensional (1D) spin chain is important for understanding low-dimensional magnetism and useful for advancing quantum communications. In the present proposal we are...

Materials exhibiting giant magnetocaloric effect (i.e. the large temperature change under a magnetic field variation) are the most promising type for magnetic refrigeration....

We have recently performed muon measurements on a member of a new class of multiferroic materials. We have shown that there is hysteretic behaviour to the internal field...

We propose to study the evolution of ZF-muSR and low-field (100 G) TF-muSR spectra and relaxation times across the charge ordering temperature T0 = 140 K of RbFe2As2 iron based...

As a consequence of cation disorder, the compound La3Ni2SbO9 behaves as a new type of magnetic material, a "relaxor ferromagnet", somewhat analogous to a relaxor ferroelectric,...

Recently the 5d transition metal oxide Sr2IrO4 has attracted much attention due to its close analogy with high-Tc cuprates. A hidden broken symmetry phase, which is similar to...

Our report of a novel cationic dipalladium(I) hydride in (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 6315) shows a linear Pd-Pd-H core with H-ligand dynamics (solution NMR). Ab-initio MD...

Tb2Ti2O7 is one of two compounds identified as potential quantum spin ices. As with other oxide pyrochlores the properties depend sensitively on the oxygen content. Most...

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...

This is an in depth study of magnetic fluctuations and local field dynamics leading into the low temperature magnetic phase of Vanadium Oxide compounds (VO2, VO2:W and VO2:Ti)...
