Description

MuSR measurements in zero field were performed in ZrMn2 and ZrMn2H3.2. The results confirm the existence in the hydride of a sluggish, spin-glass type magnetic transition. The dependence on temperature of the asymmetry of the muon disintegration shows that magnetic ordering begins to take place around 180 K, and suggests the existence of clusters of ordered Mn moments. Relaxation effects attributed to fluctuations of clustered magnetic moments are observed in the range 100 K - 190 K. (orig.)
