Most of the one dimensional spin chain compounds are antiferromagnetic with a rich magnetic phase diagram due to the magnetic frustration. We have synthesized Ba3CrS5 and...

The newly discovered AxFe2-ySe2 (A=K,Rb,Cs) compounds have attracted great interests because of their parent compounds are insulators instead of being metallic [2-6]....

In a recent SURF experiment on the formation of silica films templated with cat-anionic/polymer complexes we found that the film growth and evolution occurs on a faster time...

What does a quantum particle do when you are not looking at it? For a classical moving object, like a golf ball, we know its trajectory even when we are not looking at it. This...

Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the Arms & Armour in the Wallace Collection, London, which contains over two thousand items and is one of the most important...

Nanocomposites are prevalent in many industrial applications. The use of graphene in inexpensive materials such as polymers can have significant modifications to the polymer...

Our ongoing project to characterise radical scavenging by the green tea anti-oxidant EGCG and its D-ring analogue, (3,4,5-(OH)3-Bz) is near-complete. ALC-MuSR experiments on the...

Among the all known crystalline ice phases, ice (Ih phase) exhibits anomalous thermal expansion behavior. We propose to measure phonon density of state of protonated ice (H2O)...

We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30...

Encouraged by many unconventional magnetic properties in the magnetically frustrated spin-chain compounds of the type A3MM'O6, we have recently synthesized a new member...

Recently, Eckert and co-authors synthesised osmium based two superconductors, NbOsSi and TaOsSi, and found that these compounds exhibit superconductivity below a transition...

We will perform direct laser spectroscopy to measure the ionisation energy of muon defect levels in a semiconductor - specifically silicon carbide. We should see a broad...

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...

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...

Ever since the first published consideration of the ground state of a triangular lattice of Ising spins by PW Andersen in the 50's, the pursuit of materials with geometrically...

MAX phases exhibit a unique combination of the characteristics ofboth ceramics and metals coupled with an unusual combination of mechanical, electrical and thermal properties....

We propose an experiment on the low energy spectrometer LET to study temperature effects on the Luttinger liquid (LL) phase on the spin ladder geometry. The spin ladder material...

Having established the photo-MuSR method in intrinsic silicon to investigate excess carrier recombination lifetime and Mu-photocarrier dynamics in our previous experiments, we...

We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in...

Antioxidants are very important molecules because they can prevent or slow down the oxidative damage to our bodies. When our bodies use oxygen, free radicals are released which...
