Abstract:
μSR experiments on NdCu2 give evidence for short range order below 25\ K above TN=6.5\ K. No signal was detected between 16\ K and 1.2\ K where neutron scattering reveals an incommensurate spin structure.
Below 1.2\ K the μSR signal is recovered and shows a rotation with 22 MHz. This is interpreted with a squaring up of Nd spins
accompanied by a decrease of magnon excitations which is reflected in a decrease of damping of the muon signal.
