Abstract

Mössbauer spectroscopy and the muon spin rotation technique are two methods in which information on the atomic surrounding is obtained through the hyperfine interaction. This similarity is contrasted by the differences in observational parameters.

While in Mössbauer spectroscopy information originates (in the most general case) from four different interactions, one has in μSR only a magnetic interaction to detect. Furthermore, the lattice position probed are also different since the muon is, in general, found in interstitial positions and a further difference is related to the necessary probe concentrations. The differences and similarities are discussed through a number of examples from magnetism, diffusion and superconductivity.
