μ+ SR studies on Sr2CuO2Cl2, La2CuO4 and Nd2CuO4: 2-d magnetism, local fields and muon sitesSR studies on Sr2CuO2Cl2, La2CuO4 and Nd2CuO4: 2-d magnetism, local fields and muon sites

We compare the temperature dependence of the zero-field muon spin precession frequency observed in Sr2CuO2Cl2 and La2CuO4 below the Néel temperature with a 2-d Heisenberg model with an additional small anisotropy. Good agreement of the observed results with this model reflects the highly 2 dimensional magnetic properties of these cuprates. The measured local fields are compared with a simple calculation of dipolar fields in the crystal to …
