Title: Possibility of studying crystal-field levels and excitations by. mu. /sup +/SR spectroscopy

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6290789

We point out that ..mu../sup +/SR relaxation times T/sub 1/ and T/sub 2/ measured in metallic magnetic materials can sometimes be expressed in terms of the spin-spin correlation functions of the magnetic ions. We calculate these functions in a random phase approximation and notice they can strongly depend on the crystal field levels and excitations of the magnetic ions. The shortcomings of this approximation are discussed.
