Probing the local magnetic structure and magnetic ground states in strongly s...
Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has often lead to exotic properties in otherwise banal pool of 'paramagnetic' heavy ion oxides. In this context d4 Ir systems are exciting... -
Motion of Positively Charged Muonium Centres in Transparent Conducting Oxides
We propose further zero-field muon spin depolarization measurements at temperatures above 300K in order to determine barriers for thermal diffusion of positively charged muonium... -
Kinetics of Muoniated Radicals Studied With Radio Frequency Muon Spin Resonance
Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is a powerful technique for studying free radicals and their reaction kinetics, but it has not yet been used to study complex reactions in... -
Thermoelastic properties of ammonium sulfate, (ND4)2SO4, and the P-T dependen...
Ammonium sulfate exhibits a first-order phase transition upon cooling through ~ 224 K at room pressure, from a paraelectric to a ferroelectric crystal. There have been no... -
Observation of hydrogen dynamics in hydrogen storage materials by in situ muS...
This proposal describes an in situ muSR experiment on a hydrogen storage material, MgH2. This is because MgH2 attracts a special attention due to the fact that the hydrogen... -
Muons for Energy Nanonics
LiFePO4 (LFP) is a commercially applied cathode material for lithium ion batteries. With its Li ion hopping predominantly occurring along one-dimensional channels, LFP is a very... -
Skyrmion phase dynamics in the beta-Mn-type system Co8Zn8Mn4
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... -
Rates of Molecular Transfer Across Interfacial Layers Using µSR
The first direct measurements of the rate of transfer of a probe molecule across an interfacial layer have been made at PSI, using TF and ALC-MuSR. This application for beamtime... -
Li-diffusion in anode material Li intercalated graphite for Li-ion battery
We would like to propose a muSR experiment on Li intercalated graphite, which is most commonly used for an anode material of Li-ion battery. With charging (discharging)... -
Muonium Charge-State Transition Energies in Si-Ge Alloys
We propose longitudinal muon spin depolarization measurements for two additional samples of Si(1-x)Ge(x) alloys in order to complete our study of the dependence of Mu(-/0)... -
Clarifying the magnetism of two polymorphs of Ca2Os2O7 by muon spin rotation
This proposal is part of our project to investigate the unusual physics of 5d transition metal oxides. In particular, we are studying two samples of the chemical composition...
