A new survey of muonium states brings the total of binary non-magnetic oxides studied to 30, with normal muonium--the interstitially trapped atomic state--found in 15 of these. The number of shallow-donor states of the type known in ZnO now also totals 15, but there are hints of several others. Tantalizingly, the shallow-donor and deep-atomic states are found to coexist in several of the candidate high-permitti...
The diffusion dynamics of the neutral muonium state found in HgO is addressed in this work. We propose a hopping model for the diffusion, and use it to analyse time-domain [mu]SR data. It is found that the diffusion is an incoherent quantum process, with an activation energy of 5.2(2) meV. The analysis also points to the anti-bonding site as the best-suited candidate for the muon's localisation. ; http://www...
The assignment of muon spin rotation spectra to muonium counterparts of hydrogen shallow-donor states is reviewed in four II-VI widegap semiconductors, CdS, CdSe, CdTe and ZnO. The existence of extended electronic orbitals is argued from the muon-electron hyperfine parameters and supported by the new muon spin repolarization data for CdS and ZnO, characterizing the superhyperfine parameters on the sparse Cd and...
