Título: Application of spin polarized Muons in Condensed Matter Physics Research
Resumo:
Muon spin relaxation/rotation/resonance (µSR) is a powerful and unique technique for probing magnetic interactions and dynamics in quantum materials. Additionally, µSR has proven useful in the study of semiconductor physics, chemical reaction kinetics, hydrogen isotopes, and free radical systems in chemistry. This technique leverages nearly 100% spin-polarized muons implanted into a sample to study their subsequent precession, relaxation, and resonance, which reveal critical
information about the material’s properties of interest via detecting the positron from muon decay. In this colloquium, I will explore the fundamentals of µSR, detailing the various experimental configurations and methodologies employed. Through specific case studies, I will illustrate the diverse range of physical phenomena that µSR can investigate, including magnetic order, superconductivity, spin dynamics, and chemical structure. This presentation aims to provide a
comprehensive overview of µSR and its invaluable role in advancing our understanding of quantum materials.
