Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Muon studies of Au NPs encapsulated in 'SBA-15' silica are...

Kekulé di-radical (KDR) with two radical centers of independent spins has a low-spin ground state (singlet S0 with antiparallel spins), and interestingly high-spin triplets (T1)...

Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit...

The aims of this proposal are to study the ALC resonance in crystalline and disordered P3HT at temperatures below 4.2K, as for crystalline P3HT a cross-over between localised...

With increasing demands for high performance/capacity rechargeable batteries the materials science community is currently facing two severe issues. First of all there is from a...

An important element of the work associated with the current Framework Programme 7 Joint Research Activity (JRA) for muons is the development of gas sample pressure cells...

The investigation of electron correlations in intermetallic alloys is fascinating. At times, depending on the nature and strength of correlations, the compounds exhibit...

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

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...

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...

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...

Our ability to control the synthesis of this kind of material has led to the development of a family of Ru-Ru-M-backbone organometallic compounds with general formula...

Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit...

Silicon is currently the base of all modern electronics and advanced computing. One route to future advanced computing called spintronics exploits the energy saving and quantum...

Recently there has been an M(TCNQ)2, where M=Mn, Co, Fe and Ni, series synthesised where all samples formed a stochiometric glassy ferromagnetic salt. We have focused on the...

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...

We have developed a method to measure carrier recombination lifetime in crystalline silicon with the photo-muSR technique. The key of the method is to measure the dependence of...

Preliminary measurements of [FeFe]-hydrogenase model complexes were made in a previous experiment using EMU (RB 1010177). The results were interpreted in combination with DFT...

Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical...
