Diamagnetic muonium states in InP

Abstract

Transverse and zero‐field muon spin relaxation reveal several diamagnetic muonium states in InP characterized by their static linewidths and diffusion properties. We tentatively associate low‐temperature diamagnetic states with Mu+ in the BC and TP interstitial sites and a missing fraction with Mu0 rapidly diffusing through TIn interstices. Trapping peaks above 250 K imply static centers which depend on doping type, consistent with Mu- at TIn for n‐type samples and Mu coupled with a dopant or other defect for p‐type.
