Description
Summary:One method to characterize material is by the means of calculation of polarization of muon. Muon that stops inside the material, its polarization {which is related to its magnetic moment{ will change every time due to interactions with the nuclei that interacts with it, for example dipolar, quadrupolar, and exchange interaction. The calculation is done by using density matrix formulation, with the polarization being the trace of the multiplication between density matrix and time-dependent muon spin operator. In this nal project the interactions that will be used to calculate the dynamics of muon spin are dipolar interaction and Zeeman interaction and the muon locations are octahedral and tetrahedral site in FCC and muon stopping site in cobalt chromite spinel model crystal. The result is a plot of muon polarization which is a function of time, and the results will vary according to the interaction that's being considered during calculation.
