Abstract
We report on muon-spin relaxation/rotation measurements on the Li2CuO2 cupr ate. Spontaneous muon-spin precession frequencies are observed below the Ne el temperature T-N = 9.2 K. An additional phase transition is observed at T ' = 2.4 K, which is interpreted as a spin canting. From the temperature dep endences of the internal fields it is suggested that Li2CuO2 consists of tw o magnetic sublattices, with magnetic moments on both copper and oxygen ion s.
