Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Muons are a valuable and versatile probe of condensed matter, acting as microsopic magnetometers to enable investigation of structure and dynamics at the atomic level. Applications of the technique include investigation of magnetic, superconducting, semiconducting, molecular, ionic and metallic systems. The UK hosts the brightest pulsed muon facility for such explorations, at ISIS at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. This proposal will provide a training course in pulsed muon techniques for researchers near the start of their careers, in order to give them a thorough grounding in the practical and theoretical aspects of the technique to enable them to make best use of future facility time. The Course will consist of lectures in the muon technique to complement experiments using the four muon spectrometers at ISIS; each participant will have the chance to perform three different experiments. The Course will be run by Muon Facility staff who between them have over sixty years of experience of experimental work using muons, together with external researchers who are experts in their respective fields of condensed matter investigations. Full notes will accompany the lectures and practical work.
