Muon-spin relaxation measurements on the dimerized spin-1/2 chains NaTiSi2O6 and TiOCl

We report muon spin relaxation (μSR) and magnetic susceptibility investigations of two Ti3+ (S=1/2) chain compounds, NaTiSi2O6 and TiOCl, each of which exhibits a spin gap at low temperature. From these we conclude that the spin gap in NaTiSi2O6, which arises from orbital ordering at Too, with a val...
