Abstract

In this chapter, we present a brief overview of some of the most significant achievements of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and muon spin resonance (μSR) techniques in the study of highly frustrated magnets. We begin by discussing the physical quantities measured by the two techniques and their connection to the microscopic static and dynamical spin susceptibilities of a magnetic system. Our presentation of the physical insights obtained from NMR and μSR experiments is structured by starting from the most simple frustrated units, molecular nanomagnets, and continuing through artificially constructed frustrated systems, such as3He on graphite, to magnets with a macroscopically degenerate ground state of the type familiar from the pyrochlore and kagomé lattices.
