Abstract

Zero‐field μSR measurements have been carried out on high‐quality single‐crystal samples of the antiferromagnetic heavy‐fermion compound Ce(Ru1-xRhx)2Si2 for x=0.15 from 2 K to 300 K. The μSR signal with the muon beam parallel to the c‐axis does not show any definite change in its time spectrum. The μSR signal perpendicular to the c‐axis indicates appearance of the spin relaxation at about 6 K with a rapid increase of its rate as a decrease of temperature. This is interpreted in terms of occurrence of inhomogeneous static fields along the c‐axis due to incommensurable sinusoidal spin ordering along the c‐axis. The field distribution deduced from the μSR time spectrum is consistent with an SDW ordering.
