Muon spin relaxation study of amorphous Hf2Co

Muon spin relaxation measurements were carried out in zero magnetic field on amorphous Hf₂Co. The results obtained and comparison with the behaviour of the muon in crystalline Hf₂Co (A. Baudry, P. Boyer, L.P. Ferreira, S.W. Harris, S. Miraglia and L. Pontonnier, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter, 4 (1992) 5025) indicate that muons occupy interstitial sites without Co atoms in first-neighbour positions and diffuse through those sites, suggesting the existence of some degree of short-range order in the amorphous structure. Muon diffusion cannot be described by a single thermally activated process and is faster in the amorphous alloy than in the crystalline alloy.
