چکیده

We report muon spin relaxation (μSR) measurements on two Ti(3+) containing perovskites, LaTiO(3) and YTiO(3), which display long-range magnetic order at low temperature. For both materials, oscillations in the time dependence of the muon polarization are observed which are consistent with three-dimensional magnetic order. From our data we identify two magnetically inequivalent muon stopping sites. The μSR results are compared with the magnetic structures of these compounds previously derived from neutron diffraction and μSR studies on structurally similar compounds.

A muon - spin relaxation study of BiMnO 3

We present the results of muon-spin relaxation measurements on ferromagnetic BiMnO3. Below TC = 98.0(1) K oscillations in the time-dependence of the muon polarization are observed, characteristic of a quasistatic magnetic field at a single muon site, allowing us to probe the critical behaviour associated with the magnetic phase transition. We are able to suggest candidate muon sites on the basi...

Terahertz conductivity of localized photoinduced carriers in a Mott insulator YTiO(3) at low excitation density, contrasted with the metallic nature in a band semiconductor Si.

We performed optical-pump terahertz-probe measurements of a Mott insulator YTiO(3) and a band semiconductor Si using a laser diode (1.47 eV) and a femtosecond-pulse laser (1.55 eV). Both samples possess long energy-relaxation times (1.5 ms for YTiO(3) and 15 µs for Si); therefore, it is possible to extract terahertz complex conductivities of photoinduced carriers under equilibrium. We observ...

Muon spin relaxation investigation of the spin dynamics of geometrically frustrated antiferromagnets Y2Mo2O7 and Tb2Mo2O7.

The spin dynamics of geometrically frustrated pyrochlore antiferromagnets Y2Mo2O7 and Tb2Mo2O7 have been investigated using muon spin relaxation. A dramatic slowing down of the moment fluctuations occurs as one approaches the spin freezing temperatures (TF522 and 25 K, respectively! from above. Below TF there is a disordered magnetic state similar to that found in a spin glass but with a residu...

Momentum dependence of orbital excitations in Mott-insulating titanates.

High-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering has been used to determine the momentum dependence of orbital excitations in Mott-insulating LaTiO(3) and YTiO(3) over a wide range of the Brillouin zone. The data are compared to calculations in the framework of lattice-driven and superexchange-driven orbital ordering models. A superexchange model in which the experimentally observed modes ar...

Insight into lithium transport in lithium nitridometallate battery materials from muon spin relaxation.

Muon spin relaxation and powder neutron diffraction have been combined to study three lithium cobalt nitride battery materials. Neutron diffraction shows that these retain the P6/mmm space group of Li(3)N with Co located only on Li(1) sites. The lattice parameters vary smoothly with the degree of metal substitution, such that the [Li(2)N] layers expand while the layer separation contracts, as o...
