A μ+ SR study of ferromagnetic exchange in the fullerence charge transfer salt TDAE-C60

Zero field muon spin relaxation measurements have been made on the charge transfer salt (tetrakisdimethylaminoethylene)C-60 [TDAE-C- 60]. The effects of high temperature annealing on the dynamics and local magnetic properties of the compound are investigated. With the sample in the ferromagnetic alpha-phase, a signal characteristic of magnetic order is observed below 16 K. The initial asymmetry shows a discontinuity around 200 K, while the relaxation rate shows temperature activated behaviour above around 120 K. Annealing at 383 K is found to destroy the ferromagnetic signal and results in a relaxation rate peaked at 10 K, which may be attributable to the freezing out of a dynamic Jahn-Teller distortion.
