Possible Magnetic Chirality in Optically Chiral Magnet [Cr(CN)][Mn()-pnH(HO)](HO) Probed by Muon Spin Rotation and Relaxation
Local magnetic fields in a molecule-based optically chiral magnet
[Cr(CN)][Mn()-pnH(HO)](HO) (GN-S) and its enantiomer (GN-R) are
studied by means of muon spin rotation and relaxation (muSR). Detailed analysis
of muon precession signals under zero field observed below T_c supports the
average magnetic structure suggested by neutron powder diffraction. Moreover,
comparison of muSR spectra between GN-S and GN-R suggests that they are a pair
of complete optical isomers in terms of both crystallographic and magnetic
structure. Possibility of magnetic chirality in such a pair is discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
