Muon diffusion and level crossing in copper
Abstract
We have studied the quantum diffusion of positive muons in pure copper over the temperature range 12 mK≤T≤150 K using weak longitudinal field μSR. Below 150 K, this technique has proved to be the most sensitive to the muon hop rate. Our final results for the behaviour of the muon hop rate are well explained within the framework of theories for the quantum diffusion of light interstitials in metals of Kondo, Yamada and others. In addition, the …
