Description
Summary:Muon spin rotation (μSR) experiments can be especially helpful in the study of various organic molecular materials. The technique has been used to study the magnetization in nitronyl nitroxide organic ferromagnets, the spin-density-wave ground state in various charge transfer salts, the dynamics of carriers in organic conductors and the vortex structures in organic superconductors. I outline the motivation for studying these new materials and review and discuss the results of recent work.
