On the robustness of the MnSi magnetic structure determined by muon spin rotation

P. Dalmas de Reotier, A. Yaouanc, A. Amato +6

Muon spin rotation (muSR) spectra recorded for manganese silicide MnSi and interpreted in terms of a quantitative analysis constrained by symmetry arguments were recently published…

Close proximity of FeSe to a magnetic quantum critical point as revealed by high-resolution SR measurements

V. Grinenko, R. Sarkar, P. Materne +12

A nematic transition preceding a long-range spin density wave antiferromagnetic phase is a common feature of many Fe based superconductors. However, in the FeSe system with a nemat…

Behaviour of a muonic atom as an acceptor centre in diamond

T. N. Mamedov, A. S. Baturin, K. I. Gritsaj +5

Polarized negative muons were used to study the behaviour of the boron acceptor centre in synthetic diamond produced by the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method. The negative mu…

A lens-coupled scintillation counter in cryogenic environment

A. Stoykov, R. Scheuermann, A. Amato +4

In this work we present an elegant solution for a scintillation counter to be integrated into a cryogenic system. Its distinguishing feature is the absence of a continuous light gu…
