On the change of polarization of positive muons in alkali halides

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Positive muons implanted in nonconducting solids form with high probability hydrogenlike muonium atoms (µ + e −) with properties similar to those ofU 2-centers. The influence of superhyperfine interactions with neighbor nuclei on the evolution of the polarization of the muon is investigated theoretically. The resulting muon polarization in longitudinal magnetic fields is calculated for muonicU 2-centers in some alkali halides.
