Description

Applications of muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance (μSR) technique to a wide varieties of condensed matter physics are introduced in the wake of recent inauguration of J-PARC muon facility, MUSE. Some advantageous features of μSR, in particular those arising from the pulsed time structure of muon beam, are reviewed in the studies of magnetism, superconductivity, hydrogen-related defects in semiconductors, muonium as a probe for spintronics, and so forth.
