We report mu SR measurements on SmFeAsO1-x F (x) which helped us to identify the signature of diluted ferromagnetic inclusions, ubiquitous in the iron pnictides. These impurities are characterized by a Curie temperature close to room temperature and they seem responsible for a non negligible magnetic relaxation of the implanted muons, which should not be confused with intrinsic pnictide properties.

Abstract
We report mu SR measurements on SmFeAsO1-x F (x) which helped us to identify the signature of diluted ferromagnetic inclusions, ubiquitous in the iron pnictides. These impurities are characterized by a Curie temperature close to room temperature and they seem responsible for a non negligible magnetic relaxation of the implanted muons, which should not be confused with intrinsic pnictide properties.File in questo prodotto:
