摘要
We report mu SR experiments on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWnT). We find that injected muons form vacuum-like muonium (Mu) with a large probability ( similar to 40%). We discuss the temperature (T) dependence of the transverse field (TF) signal of the diamagnetic fraction as well as the longitudinal field (LF) signal of Mu. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
