Abstract

This paper describes some experiments in which local magnetic fields are investigated by polarized positive muons in a variety of magnetic materials. Transition metals, rare earth intermetallic compounds, oxides, halides, spin-glass systems and high Tc superconductors will be presented by considering a few examples only: the phenomenology is quite broad on the one hand and, on the other, the present lecture is not conceived as a thorough review. In μSR research a preliminary objective is the understanding of the state of the positive muon after implantation, its specific localization, if any, and the understanding of the link between the local magnetic field at the muon site and the magnetic moments of the system under investigation. Examples of this studies are given for MnF2 and CoF2 single crystals. Results concerning the static properties in the magnetically ordered state as well as the fluctuations in the disordered state are confronted with the available results from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and neutron diffraction and scattering.
