Automated computational workflows for muon spin spectroscopy

Muon spin rotation and relaxation spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying magnetic materials, offering a local probe that complements scattering techniques and provides advantages in cases of strong incoherent scattering or neutron absorption. By integrating computational methods (DFT+μ), the microscopic interactions driving the observed signals can be precisely quantified, enhancing the technique's predictive power. We present a set of efficient algorithms and workflows - implemented in the AiiDA framework - that automate the DFT+μ procedure, where the muon is treated as a hydrogen impurity within the density functional theory framework. Our approach automates the identification of muon stopping sites, dipolar interactions, and hyperfine interactions. In this record we share the result of our calculations on well-known compounds, to demonstrate the accuracy and ease of use of our protocol.
