Muon-spin relaxation investigation of magnetic bistability in a crystalline organic radical compound (2023)
Journal Article
Hernández-Melían, A., Huddart, B., Pratt, F., Blundell, S., Mills, M., Young, H., Preuss, K., & Lancaster, T. (2023). Muon-spin relaxation investigation of magnetic bistability in a crystalline organic radical compound. Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids, 181, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpcs.2023.111493

We present the results of a muon-spin relaxation (𝜇+SR) investigation of the crystalline organic radicalcompound 4-(2-benzimidazolyl)-1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl (HbimDTDA), in which we demonstrate the hystereticmagnetic switching of the system that takes...

Many-body quantum muon effects and quadrupolar coupling in solids (2023)
Journal Article
Gomilšek, M., Pratt, F. L., Cottrell, S. P., Clark, S. J., & Lancaster, T. (2023). Many-body quantum muon effects and quadrupolar coupling in solids. Communications Physics, 6(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s42005-023-01260-7

Strong quantum zero-point motion (ZPM) of light nuclei and other particles is a crucial aspect of many state-of-the-art quantum materials. However, it has only recently begun to be explored from an ab initio perspective, through several competing app... Read More about Many-body quantum muon effects and quadrupolar coupling in solids.

DFT + μ: Density functional theory for muon site determination (2023)
Journal Article
Blundell, S., & Lancaster, T. (2023). DFT + μ: Density functional theory for muon site determination. Applied Physics Reviews, 10(2), Article 021316. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0149080

The technique of muon spin rotation (μSR) has emerged in the last few decades as one of the most powerful methods of obtaining local magnetic information. To make the technique fully quantitative, it is necessary to have an accurate estimate of where... Read More about DFT + μ: Density functional theory for muon site determination.

μSR investigation of magnetism in κ−(ET)2X : Antiferromagnetism (2023)
Journal Article
Huddart, B., Lancaster, T., Blundell, S., Guguchia, Z., Taniguchi, H., Clark, S., & Pratt, F. (2023). μSR investigation of magnetism in κ−(ET)2X : Antiferromagnetism. Physical Review Research, 5(1), Article 013015. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevresearch.5.013015

We study magnetism in the κ-(ET)2X family of charge-transfer salts using implanted muon spectroscopy in conjunction with detailed ab initio electronic structure calculations using density functional theory (DFT). ET stands for the electron donor mole... Read More about μSR investigation of magnetism in κ−(ET)2X : Antiferromagnetism.
