Muonium and Hydrogen Defect Centres in Solids

Abstract

Hydrogen and its light isotope, muonium, may both be observed in insulating crystals as trapped interstitial atoms. Their difference in mass gives rise to a small dynamic isotope effect in hyperfine coupling constant and a large difference in diffusive behaviour — muonium showing in some lattices a striking minimum in mobility versus temperature.
