Abstract

New sets of μSR measurements in MnSi are presented and the effect of the applied field on the critical behavior observed via the relaxation rate 1/T1 are presented. As such, a departure of 1/T1 from the linear behavior T1Tα(T-Tc) is found and confirmed the very small pressure dependence of the magnetic moment in the ordered phase.
