Abstract The magnetic correlations in Nd2-yCeyCuO4 have been studied by zero and longitudinal field μSR. Nd1.8Ce0.2CuO4 reveals a saturation of the muon relaxation rate below 0.5 K. Even down to 70 mK LF spectra evidence spin fluctuations in the dynamic regime with a rate of \sim 109 s-1 excluding long range magnetic order or spin glass freezing. The average Nd moment is estimated to be \approx 0.2\muB, i.e., strongly reduced from the value determined for the ground state Kramers doublet of Nd2CuO4. Extending former μSR measurements on Nd2CuO4, a gradual enhancement of the internal field has been detected below 10 K which is accompanied by an increase of the relaxation rate. These results are attributed to the development of ordered Nd moments.
