Abstract:
A muon site search has been performed for the RFeO3 series based on a calculation of dipole fields and assumptions that a μ-0 bond is formed at identical sites in each sample. The site previously identified by Holzschuh et al. /1/ has been verified and additional sites located which together explain all the observed μSR frequencies in the orthoferrites. Effects due to muon motion and covalent contributions to the internal fields are briefly discussed.
