Description

Level crossing resonance studies of ice, doped with HF and NH3 to enhance and suppress the concentration of orientational defects, support the hypothesis that muons can trap at such defects to form complexes of the type H2O-Mu+-OH2. The doping alters the partition of the total diamagnetic fraction between this state, which is stable against charge migration via proton rearrangement at low temperature, and the neutral HMuO state, the isotopically substituted water molecule.
