Abstract

The effect of the moment of a magnetic impurity on the order parameter of an unconventional superconductor is examined. The coupling of the magnetic moment to the order parameter induces a locally time-reversal symmetry-breaking state which generates a magnetic field distribution in the vicinity of the impurity. The magnetic field can cause precession of the magnetic moment. The case of a spin polarized muon injected into the superconductor is discussed.
