Fj. Litterst et al., EXAMPLES OF THE APPLICATION OF MUON SPIN RELAXATION TO STUDIES OF MAGNETISM IN CUPRATES, Australian journal of physics, 51(2), 1998, pp. 385-400
After a brief introduction to muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu SR
) some recently achieved results on La2-x-yNdxSryCuO4, La2-x-yEuxSryCu
O4 and Nd2-xCexCuO4 are presented demonstrating the high sensitivity o
f the method for the dynamics and ordering of small magnetic moments c
lose to the superconducting phases. The mu SR experiments give evidenc
e for static and relatively slow dynamic magnetic correlations in thes
e cuprates.
