Muons are particles with a spin of ½ that can be implanted into a wide range of condensed
matter materials to act as a local probe of the surrounding atomic environment …

The technique of muon spin rotation (μSR) has emerged in the last few decades as one of
the most powerful methods of obtaining local magnetic information. To make the technique …

Assessing similarity between data sets with the reduced χ 2 test requires the estimation of
experimental errors, which, if incorrect, may render statistical comparisons invalid. We report …

Significant progress has recently been made in calculating muon stopping sites using
density functional theory. The technique aims to address two of the most common criticisms …

The rapid developments of computational quantum chemistry methods and supercomputing
facilities motivate the renewed interest in the analysis of the muon/electron interactions in …

We present a systematic investigation of muon-stopping states in superconductors that
reportedly exhibit spontaneous magnetic fields below their transition temperatures due to …

The exploration of topological electronic phases that result from strong electronic
correlations is a frontier in condensed matter physics. One class of systems that is currently …

An A-type antiferromagnet, NaNiO 2, was examined by means of positive muon spin rotation
and relaxation (μ+ SR) measurements and first-principles calculations based on a density …

Recent observations of novel spin-orbit coupled states have generated interest in 4 d/5 d
transition metal systems. A prime example is the J eff= 1 2 state in iridate materials and α …

Abstract The K2Cr8O16 compound belongs to a series of quasi-1D compounds with
intriguing magnetic properties that are stabilized through a high-pressure synthesis …
