Abstract

Zero-field μ+ spin-rotation measurements in a ceramic sample of HoBa2Cu3O7 reveal three-dimensional antiferromagnetic order below ≈5 K and some incoherent, perhaps two-dimensional, order up to 50 K in a diminishing fraction of the sample volume. With increasing temperature, at about 100 mK, the Ho moments change their orientation from parallel to the c axis to parallel to the a axis. The effective Ho moment is of the order of 2.6μB. Fluctuating field components perpendicular to the static field components at the μ+ positions cause dynamical relaxation coexisting with static dipolar line broadening. Thermally activated slow "paramagnetic" fluctuations are observed up to 50 K.
