Description

The quantum diffusion of interstitial muonium atoms in solid CO2 is studied in the temperature range from 5 to 200 K using the technique of muonium spin rotation and relaxation. Muonium exhibits coherent bandlike dynamics between 140 and 160 K. At low temperature Mu undergoes strong localization
