Abstract
The Coulomb capture ratio of negative muons has been measured in the intermetallic compounds Ni5Y and Ni5Ca and in homogeneous and inhomogeneous Sn-Mg alloys. Strong dependence on the atomic radii and on the degree of inhomogeneity was observed. The muonicK-series intensity pattern was determined.
