The positive muon is a unique microscopic probe. When it is implanted in condensed matter,
the evolution of its spin polarisation may be readily monitored to give information on the …

The most fundamental limitations of a muon-spin relaxation experiment can be the lack of
knowledge of the implantation site of the muon and the uncertainty about the muon's …

Muon-spin relaxation (μ+ SR) is a sensitive probe of magnetism, but its utility can be
severely limited by the lack of knowledge of the muon implantation site and the extent to …

Significant progress has recently been made in calculating muon stopping sites using
density functional theory. The technique aims to address two of the most common criticisms …

We report on an ab initio strategy based on density functional theory to identify the muon
sites. Two issues must be carefully addressed: muon delocalization about candidate …

The rapid developments of computational quantum chemistry methods and supercomputing
facilities motivate the renewed interest in the analysis of the muon/electron interactions in …

An A-type antiferromagnet, NaNiO 2, was examined by means of positive muon spin rotation
and relaxation (μ+ SR) measurements and first-principles calculations based on a density …

The stopping site of the muon in a muon-spin relaxation experiment is in general unknown.
There are some techniques that can be used to guess the muon stopping site, but they often …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the results on magnetic materials obtained by a
single technique—namely, muon spin rotation (μSR) spectroscopy. The magnetic properties …

We investigate the magnetic ordering and dynamics of the stripe phase of La 5/3 Sr 1/3 CoO
4, a material shown to have an hourglass magnetic excitation spectrum. A combination of …
