The positive muon is a unique microscopic probe. When it is implanted in condensed matter,
the evolution of its spin polarisation may be readily monitored to give information on the …

Although the interstitial hydrogen atom would seem to be one of the simplest defect centres
in any lattice, its solid state chemistry is in fact unknown in many materials, not least amongst …

The positive muon (μ+) can be incorporated into free radicals where it acts as a probe of the
structure and dynamics. The muoniated radicals are characterized by a series of magnetic …

Understanding free radical addition to multiple bonds is important to elucidating the
mechanistic details of addition polymerization reactions, albeit the fleeting radical …

Muonium (Mu) and protium (1H) differ by only 0.43% in reduced mass but by a factor of 8.8
in atomic mass, so they constitute an excellent pair of atoms with which to examine kinetic …

A representative series is studies of organic radicals formed by the effective addition of
muonium to the carbonyl oxygen atom of aldehydes, ketones, esters and amides. Low …

Muoniated free radicals have been detected in muon-irradiated aqueous solutions of
acetone at high temperatures and pressures. At temperatures below 250° C, the radical …

The muon-electron β-hyperfine coupling constant is reported for the 2-muoxyprop-2-yl
radical formed by positive muon (μ+) implantation in propan-2-one and aqueous solutions of …

There is a pressing need to identify and monitor reaction intermediates in water at high
temperatures and pressures, but conventional techniques have limited capability for …

The results of density functional theory calculations on the structures, energetics, and
hyperfine properties of radical H adducts to the C and S atoms of several thioketones and …
