Spin dynamics and electronic structure of muonium and its charged states in silicon and gallium arsenide

This thesis describes recent fiSH measurements on muonium (Mu=μ⁺e⁻) centers in crystalline Si and GaAs. Spin-exchange scattering and charge-exchange of Mu with conduction electrons are found to be important dynamical processes in these systems. Longitudinal muon spin relaxation (1/T₁) measurement...
