μSR on an induced moment spin glass system: Hg1-xFexSe.

Zero and longitudinal field μSR have been used to examine the singlet ground state magnetism of the diluted magnetic semiconductor Hg_1-xFe_xSe. For x\geq 0.05\ μSR experiments indicate spin glass behaviour which is limited to sample regions with locally enhanced Fe²⁺ content. Longitudinal field spectra in the glassy state reveal a static local field \sim 50 mT due to induced moments of Fe²⁺. These are proposed to originate from a distribution of bound magnetic polaron energies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
