Advantages of µSR
Muons are purely magnetic probes (I = ½, no quadrupolar effects).
Local information, interstitial probe complementary to NMR.
Large magnetic moment: μµ = 3.18 µp = 8.89 µn sensitive probe.
Particularly suitable for:Very weak effects, small moment magnetism ~ 10-3 µB/AtomRandom magnetism (e.g. spin glasses).Short range order (where neutron scattering is not sensitive).Independent determination of magnetic moment and of magnetic volumefraction.
Determination of magnetic/non magnetic/superconducting fractions.
Full polarization in zero field, independent of temperature uniquemeasurements without disturbance of the system.
Single particle detection extremely high sensitivity.
No restrictions in choice of materials to be studied.Fluctuation time window: 10-5 < x < 10-11 s.
