Description

The microscopic state of the positive muon in the transition metal dichalcogenide 2H-NbSe2 was studied using the muon spin relaxation method (μ+SR). We found that the μ+SR spectra consist of two components. The ratio of the two components and the dynamics of the muon change at 140 K, at the charge-density-wave transition temperature (32 K), and again at the superconducting transition temperature (7 K). We discuss the relation between conduction electron properties and the muon's behavior
