Abstract: | We report μSR measurements on SmFeAsO1−x F x which helped us to identify the signature of diluted ferromagnetic inclusions, ubiquitous in the iron pnictides. These impurities are characterized by a Curie temperature close to room temperature and they seem responsible for a non negligible magnetic relaxation of the implanted muons, which should not be confused with intrinsic pnictide properties. |
