Understanding high-performance light-emitting diodes based on carbene-metal-a...
The technology of organic electronics unlocks new ways to create semiconductor devices which are impossible using more conventional materials. The organic semiconductors at... -
Laser-induced electron transfer in Trp-Tyr
We wish to perform longitudinal field measurements on the dipeptide Trp-Tyr under laserexcitation, to probe the electron transfer process within the molecule. We have already... -
Vibrations of a muoniated radical center and photochemistry in benzophenone
Benzophenone is an ideal material to study vibrations of a muon radical centre with near-IR laser light, as all C=O bonds in solid state are almost parallel to each other and it... -
Environmental effects on muonium adducts of lidocaine using avoided level cro...
Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic, identified by the World Health Organisation as an essential medicine. In order to reach its site of action, lidocaine first has to pass from a... -
A GENERAL METHOD OF MEASURING ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY
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... -
How complex is complex: an ALC study of a 10-mer helical peptide chain
There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters... -
Electron Spin Relaxation Measurements of Amorphous PTAA
The proposed experiment aims to determine the electron spin relaxation rate of the amorphous polymer PTAA as a function of temperature using the HIFI muon spectrometer. For... -
Partitioning of lidocaine into a model lipid system using avoided level cross...
Drug design and development is a costly business with a high attrition rate. There are many reasons why a drug may fail to reach its target site of action but for those that... -
How complex is complex: an ALC study of a 10-mer helical peptide chain
There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters... -
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... -
Acidity in zeolites - A MuSR perspective
Zeolites are microporous materials that are used as heterogeneous acid catalysts in reactions. It is important to study reactive intermediates in zeolites in order to understand...
