Muon spin relaxation in ferromagneticPdMn

Abstract

Positive-muon (μ +) spin relaxation experiments have been carried out in the dilute ferromagnetic alloy Pd+2 at.% Mn (T c=5.8 K). In the paramagnetic state the inhomogeneousμ + linewidth is proportional to the bulk magnetization. BelowT c theμ + linewidth and the width of theμ + local field distribution in zero applied field are both in qualitative accord with the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick theory of disordered magnets.
