Muon Site Estimations by DFT Calculations in Metal and Insulating Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

A way to estimate muon sites in materials is reported. Since the muon has a positive charge, one easiest and conventional way to estimate muon positions is to calculate minimum potential positions. We applied our developed method to estimate those potential minimum positions to some systems which have been studied by mons at the RIKEN-RAL Muon Facility and showed well defined muon-spin precession behavior in magnetically ordered states. Tentative calculation results by using the density functional theory are reported.
