Abstract

Muonium (Mu) is widely used as a model for isolated hydrogen in condensed matter, but whether its electronic state is truly equivalent to that of hydrogen remains to be tested with an orbital-sensitive probe. Here we use double electron-muon resonance to determine the electron $g$ values of the paramagnetic Mu center in rutile TiO$_2$ for magnetic fields along [100], [110], and [001] directions. The obtained $g$ values closely follow those of the H-related Ti$^{3+}$ paramagnetic center in both magnitude and anisotropy. This agreement tests the Mu--H correspondence at the level of the Ti $3d$ electronic state and supports a common localized Ti$^{3+}$ electronic core for the two centers.

Low-spin excited states in $^{68}$Zn have been studied at the High Intensity Gamma-Ray Source (HI$\gamma$S) from the ground state up to the particle emission threshold using the nuclear resonance fluorescence technique (NRF) and the newly developed Clover Array. Low-spin levels were excited by linearly-polarized, $2.90...

Located at the neutron shell closure $N = 8$, the long-lived radioactive isotope $^{14}$C plays a critical role in geochronology and nuclear structure studies. Despite its widespread use, the nuclear charge radius of $^{14}$C has remained less precisely known compared to its stable counterpart $^{12}$C. Here, we report...
