Muon spin resonance (MuSR) Read more

Muon spin resonance (MuSR)

MuSR is a technique that relies on the implantation of muons in matter. It can probe the magnetic fields created at the muon site and the organization of the surrounding spins, ordered or disordered.

Inelastic neutron scattering Read more

Inelastic neutron scattering

Inelastic neutron scattering can be used to measure both the movement of atoms and spins in matter in order to better understand the physical properties of new materials.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Read more

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)

NMR makes it possible to measure very accurately the magnetic fields which reign around a nucleus. The nucleus is therefore used as a probe of its immediate environment, on a very local scale.

Frustrated magnets

In magnetic materials, by sufficiently lowering the temperature, the spins end up freezing in a configuration imposed by the magnetic interactions between atoms.

Magnetic Orders Read more

Magnetic Orders

In magnets, the spins of atoms line up in a so-called ferromagnetic state. But other more subtle states can also be realized in magnetic materials and are being studied by physicists.

Paramagnetism and ferromagnetism Read more

Paramagnetism and ferromagnetism

We use magnets every day. Their magnetism actually has a quantum origin. It arises from the arrangement of the spins of atoms which form an ordered state.
