Abstract

The internal magnetic field in a ferromagnetic compound, Y2Co12P7 with T C = 150 K, was studied with µ +SR using a powder sample down to 2 K. The wTF-µ +SR measurements revealed the presence of a sharp magnetic transition at T C = 151 K, and the ZF-µ +SR measurements clarified the formation of static magnetic order below T C. The presence of two muon spin precession signals in the ZF-µ +SR spectrum below T C indicates the existence of the two different muon sites in the lattice. By considering the muon sites and local spin densities at the muon sites predicted with DFT calculations, the ordered magnetic moments of Co were successfully determined.
