to elucidate the anomalous dynamic muon spin relaxation observed in these materials. The damping rate
associated with this relaxation varies with temperature, applied magnetic field, and dopant concentrations
and
in a manner consistent with the "hyperfine enhancement" of
Pr nuclear spins. This mechanism arises from Van Vleck-like admixture of magnetic Pr
crystalline-electric-field-split excited states into the nonmagnetic singlet ground state by the nuclear hyperfine coupling, thereby increasing the strengths of spin-spin interactions between
Pr and muon spins and within the
Pr spin system. We find qualitative agreement with this scenario and conclude that electronic spin fluctuations are not directly involved in the dynamic muon spin relaxation.

discrepancy is found at low temperatures. This may be due to mechanisms that modify the vortex-state field distribution, or to the surface scattering which breaks pairs in an odd-parity superconductor. Alternatively, it may be a matter of field orientation of nodal gap structure in the
SR measurements.
