Abstract

The electrostatic potential has been investigated in YBa2Cu3O6 by applying the density functional theory in order to estimate possible muon sites. We found five minimum potential positions around the apical oxygen of the CuO5 polyhedral. In addition to those, we also found another minimum potential position near the yttrium atom which is in between the CuO2 layers. Those estimated positions are different from those suggested from previous μSR studies on the basis of the dipole-field estimation.
