Abstract

The radio frequency μSR technique developed at TRIUMF was used to measure the temperature dependence of the diamagnetic muon, Mu, and Mu* amplitudes in silicon between 10 K and 500 K. Six samples doped with phosphorus (n-type) and boron (p-type) in the concentration range 1011 to 1015 cm-3 were studied. In pure Si a very good fit over the whole temperature range is obtained from a model that includes the ionization of Mu* and Mu to a bond centered μ+ followed at high temperature by charge exchange involving Mu.
