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 energy field method, which seeks the minimum of the electrostatic potential of the μ⁺, and the magnetic dipolar field method, which compares the calculated magnetic field (due to the host electronic, atomic or nuclear dipolar fields) with the observed local fields at the muon. / Science, Faculty of / Physics and Astronomy, Department of / Graduate
