Description
For over 40 years spin polarized muons at TRIUMF have been used as a magnetic probe of solids via the technique of muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance (µSR). With the increasing need to understand more complex materials, sophisticated scientific tools like µSR are necessary. Through the years innovative advances in instrumentation and refurbishment of muon beam lines have expanded µSR applications. Today µSR at TRIUMF is well suited to research of many important topics in condensed matter physics. In this talk, some recent µSR studies of quantum materials and the immediate future of µSR as a tool in condensed matter physics will be discussed.
