Abstract

Muon spin relaxation measurements around the 25 K metal-insulator transition in Li $_{0.9}$ Mo $_6$ O $_{17}$ elucidate a profound role of disorder as a possible mechanism for this transition. The relaxation rate $1/T_1$ and the muon Knight shift are incompatible with the transition to a SDW state and thus exclude it.
