Abstract
We have recorded at ISIS zero field and longitudinalμSR relaxation spectra on a single crystal of the Van- Vleck paramagnetPrNi 5 from room temperature down to 0.09K. Our data clearly indicate that at low temperature the rare earth spin dynamics is quasi-static, i.e. its correlation time is larger than 10−6 s. From theμSR methodological point of view, this work provides the first example of aμSR study of the dynamics of an hyperfine-enhanced nuclear dipole system.
