Until a few years ago virtually all spectroscopic information on muonium in semiconductors was obtained using a conventional muon spin rotation (/xSR) method. A schematic of a possible experimental arrangement is...

A AH < kT has important consequences. As the temperature is lowered to where AHg, kT, strong electron-phonon interactions must manifest themselves. Direct evidence for mode softening and strong electron-phonon coupling in the internal Ty < T < 250 K has been provided by measurements of the Mdssbauer recoiless fraction and the X-ray Debye-Waller factor as well as of muon-spin rotation Therefore, it would be... 

Recent muon spin rotation (//-SR) experiments evidence the existence of internal fields. Hence, a weak Neel ordering is assumed [40], The substitution of Br by Cl reduces the unit cell volume by 7% and increases the transition... 

BImNN would order with Tc 1.1 K based on these interactions. Quite recently, Blundell and coworkers196 carried out muon spin rotation experiments showing that BImNN does order with Tc = 1.0(1) K. 

To illustrate the information that can be distracted from the neutron diffraction and muon spin rotation experiments, experimental data from both techniques are combined in fig. 10 for the compound U(Pto.99Pdo.oi)3- The lowest temperature data of the neutron diffraction results [20] extrapolate to... 

The most efficient mechanism to obtain M is e capture after stopping p+ in a suitable noble gas. This technique was employed already in the discovery experiment of the muonium atom through its characteristic muon spin rotation in a magnetic field by V.W. Hughes and collaborators in 1960. There the atoms were formed in Ar gas [8], where efficiencies of 65(5)% are possible. In the most recent precision measurements of Avhfs and the muon magnetic moment...
