Description

The hyperfine field on a positive muon at interstitial site in a nickel single crystal has been measured by the muon spin rotation method in the temperature range from 0.12 K to 300 K. The hyperfine field in the low temperature limit was found to be -640.7+-2.2 Gauss. While the saturation magnetization decreases by 7% as the temperature increases from 0.1 K to 300 K, the hyperfine field seen by the muon remains nearly constant. Possible mechanisms for explaining this result are considered. (Auth.)
