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

The [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes are some of the best catalysts know for generating hydrogen. We have an ongoing programme to understand how their chemistry works, and to...

Radio Frequency µSR provides a direct method for accurately determining muon hyperfine coupling constants, Aµ, for muoniated radical species. The method complements the well...

To date, most experiments within the MuSES project have been on liquids samples at room temperature. The liquids were required to overlap the optical absorption with the muon¿s...

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....

This experiment addresses the study of electron transport in zinc-hexadecafluoro-phthalocyanine (F16-ZnPc), a model n-type phthalocyanine employed in organic electronics, using...

Ce-compounds are well known to present very rich physics and exotic electronic ground state due to the competing RKKY, Kondo and crystal field interactions. Recently CeRuPO...

We propose a series of measurements to complete the previous direct spectroscopic measurements of the Muonium defect energy levels in Silicon Carbide (SiC; RB110134). We will...

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...

In this proposal, we wish to study the origin of the multiferroic nature in Sr4Fe2(CO3)O6. In the magnetization data, antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering appears at TN = 340 K and...

This proposal seeks to conduct total-scattering studies on thallium and caesium azides to investigate the effect of temperature on the atomic motions, particularly of the azide...

Ice VI is likely to be a major mantle mineral in the interiors of large icy moons in our solar system, and in large icy extrasolar planets. It is also a common accessory phase...

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...

Here we propose to use muon spectroscopy to study the diffusion of sodium in hard carbon anode materials of various porosity for sodium ion batteries. Hard carbon is the most...

The study of organic ferroelectrics based on mixed-stack charge-transfer salts is currently a rapidly developing research field. These materials attract interest as highly...

The research on energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is vital for electric vehicles (EVs), electronic devices and grid-scale energy storage. According to...

This proposal is part of a long-range program aiming at determining the stable charge-state configurations, site and impurity energy levels (donor and/or acceptor) of hydrogen...

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...
