摘要:
The wave function of the implanted mu(+) in UNi2Al3 is found to be extended over a hexagonal ring of interstitial lattice sites m or k, closely surrounding the highly symmetrical site b. This site assignment, inferred from the angular dependence of high-field relaxation rates, leads to an equally consistent explanation of the medium- and low-field mu SR data. By using available NMR data for the inherent 'crystal' electric field gradient (EFG), the mu(+)-induced EFG at the Al nuclei could be determined. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
