Abstract The various states formed by positive muons implanted into phosphorus and sulphur have been characterized as a model for interstitial hydrogen, of which little is known in these elements. Repolarization studies reveal muonium‐like states in each case, giving estimates of the hyperfine parameters and, for sulphur at least, an indication of the coexistence of a molecular radical state. The longitudinal‐field relaxation functions suggest conversion of the paramagnetic states to diamagnetic, i.e. ionization or chemical reaction, in competition with strong spin–lattice relaxation.
