Theoretical calculation of muon site in YBa₂Cu₃O

The muon is a useful probe of magnetic fields in superconductors, but knowing the field seen by the muon is often of limited value until we know where the muon is in the crystal lattice. In this thesis I employ two independent theoretical methods to search for candidate muon sites: the potential ene...
