Muon Spin Relaxation studies of Ni(TCNQ)2

DOI

Molecular ferromagnets offer great potential as they are synthesized at low temperatures and offer the possibility functionalization. Ni(TCNQ)2 is such a molecular ferromagnet, with a Curie temperature of about 20K. Recently we investigated the deuterated form of this material with uSR and obtained strong evidence that implanted muons are sensitive to the ferromagnetic phase transition. We wish to continue this study using the EMU spectrometer to complete measurements made in longitudinal fields and carry out measurements in transverse magnetic fields, detailed measurements being made around the Curie temperature (25K), and exploratory measurements below 1K. The protio form of Ni(TCNQ)2 will also be investigated further with ZF and LF measurements made above and below the Curie temperature (20K).
