The ISIS Muon Group
operates six muon spectrometers for condensed matter and molecular studies
using both positive and negative muons. These spectrometers are used by researchers
from around the world for a wide range of studies that include investigations
in the areas of magnetism, superconductivity, charge transport, molecular and
chemical studies, modelling hydrogen behaviour in, for example, semiconductors
or proton conductors, and elemental analysis. The instrumentation operated by
this group is currently undergoing an exciting period of development, with
plans for new and state-of-the-art instruments (for both positive and negative
muon studies). The group is also developing novel calculation methods, such as
density functional theory (DFT) techniques, to help with the understanding of
experiment results.
