Muon (μSR) Spectroscopy of the Fullerenes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Developments in Fullerene Science ((DFUL,volume 1))

Abstract

The acronym μSR stands for Muon Spin Rotation/Relaxation/Resonance. All experiments on fullerenes reviewed here were done with the positive muon, with the one exception, described later, of a preliminary experiment carried out on C60 with negative muons.
