Abstract A detailed study has been undertaken of the muon Knight shift in high purity antimony single crystals. No periodic variations with magnetic field (de Haas–van Alphen oscillations) are observed. The temperature dependence below 175 K is close to that expected for a Kondo‐like impurity with an anisotropic muon–electron hyperfine interaction. At higher temperatures the paramagnetic state becomes unstable and a transition occurs to a second state. The longitudinal relaxation rate rises from an apparently non‐zero value at T=0 to a maximum at 50 K, followed by a slow decline. This leads to a Korringa product which is strongly temperature dependent.
