Abstract
We report μSR measurements on a series of compounds with composition La2-xSrxNiO4+\delta where the net hole concentration x+2\delta is greater than 0.4. A magnetic transition is found in all the samples studied which occurs at a composition‐dependent temperature TM. Below TM, clear precession signals are observed in zero applied magnetic field. The possible muon sites are discussed within the context of dipole‐field calculations.
