Muon-spin relaxation study of the double perovskite insulators SrOsO ()

R. C. Williams, F. Xiao, I. O. Thomas +8

We present the results of zero-field muon-spin relaxation measurements made on the double perovskite insulators SrOsO (). Spontaneous muon-spin preces…

Transverse field muon-spin rotation measurement of the topological anomaly in a thin film of MnSi

T. Lancaster, F. Xiao, Z. Salman +9

We present the results of transverse-field muon-spin rotation measurements on an epitaxially grown 40 nm-thick film of MnSi on Si(111) in the region of the field-temperature phase…

Spin diffusion in the low-dimensional molecular quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet Cu(pyz)(NO) detected with implanted muons

F. Xiao, J. S. Möller, T. Lancaster +6

We present the results of muon-spin relaxation measurements of spin excitations in the one-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet Cu(pyz)(NO). Using density-fun…

A Bayesian approach to magnetic moment determination using muSR

S. J. Blundell, A. J. Steele, T. Lancaster +2

A significant challenge in zero-field muSR experiments arises from the uncertainty in the muon site. It is possible to calculate the dipole field (and hence precession frequency nu…

What relaxes muon spins in molecular nanomagnets?

T. Lancaster, S. J. Blundell, F. L. Pratt +9

We address the cause of the unusual muon spin relaxation (muSR) results on molecular nanomagnets (MNMs). Through measurements on protonated and deuterated samples of the MNMs Cr7Mn…

Local magnetism and magnetoelectric effect in HoMnO3 studied with muon-spin relaxation

H. J. Lewtas, T. Lancaster, P. J. Baker +3

We present the results of muon-spin relaxation (muSR) measurements on the hexagonal manganite HoMnO3. Features in the temperature-dependent relaxation rate, lambda, correlate with…

Muon-spin relaxation measurements on the dimerized spin-1/2 chains NaTiSi2O6 and TiOCl

P. J. Baker, S. J. Blundell, F. L. Pratt +10

We report muon spin relaxation (muSR) and magnetic susceptibility investigations of two Ti3+ chain compounds which each exhibit a spin gap at low temperature, NaTiSi2O6 and TiOCl.…

Spin-polarized muons in condensed matter physics

S. J. Blundell

A positive muon is a spin-1/2 particle. Beams of muons with all their spins polarized can be prepared and subsequently implanted in various types of condensed matter. The subsequen…
