Low-temperature mobility of positive muons in copper

The spin relaxation of the positive muon in Cu has been measured < 5K in zero applied magnetic field. The results are well described by the theory of Kubo and Toyabe with a temp.-independent dipolar width. It is concluded that neither trapping nor changes in the muon site with temp. explain the i...

Description
Summary:The spin relaxation of the positive muon in Cu has been measured < 5K in zero applied magnetic field. The results are well described by the theory of Kubo and Toyabe with a temp.-independent dipolar width. It is concluded that neither trapping nor changes in the muon site with temp. explain the increased mobility < 5K. 17 ref.--AA
