Abstract:An introduction is given into the application of muon spin rotation spectroscopy to spin glass problems. The principles of the μSR method are discussed in connection with basic properties of spin glasses. Important information provided by μSR on the dynamical behaviour of the impurity spins, the spatial structure of the freezing process, and the form of the autocorrelation function for the local fields are reviewed in chosen examples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
