Abstract
High statistic zero-field mu SR measurements have been performed in the ant iferromagnetic state of the Ho3+ sublattice in HoBa2Cu3O7. The measurements reveal a time-dependent local field at the muon position. This time effect is shown to be the result of a change of the crystal electric field caused by the muon point charge. This effect solves the incompatibility between t he magnetic structure proposed by neutron diffraction, and mu SR measuremen ts. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
