A detailed zero-and transverse-field muon spin rotation investigation of magnetism and the magnetoelectric coupling in Cu 2 OSeO 3 is reported. An internal magnetic field B int (T = 0) = 85.37(25) mT was found, in agreement with a ferrimagnetic state below T c = 57.0(1) K. The temperature dependence of the magnetic order parameter is well described by the relation2 )β with an effective exponentβ 0.39(1), which is close to the critical exponent β 1/3 for a three-dimensional (3D) magnetic system. Just above T c the muon relaxation rate follows the power law λ(T ) ∝ (T /T c − 1) −ω withω = 1.06(9), which is characteristic for 3D ferromagnets. Measurements of B int (T ) with and without an applied electrostatic field E = 1.66 × 10 5 V/m suggest a possible electric-field effect of magnitude B V = B V (0 V) − B V (500 V) = −0.4(4) mT.
