Evidence for weak itinerant long-range magnetic correlations in UGe2

Abstract

Positive muon spin relaxation measurements performed on the ferromagnet UGe2 reveal, in addition to the well known localized 5f-electron density responsible for the bulk magnetic properties, the existence of itinerant quasi-static magnetic correlations. Their critical dynamics is well described by the conventional dipolar Heisenberg model. These correlations involve small magnetic moments.
