Hydrogen and Muonium behaviour in diamond

Joseph, Sithole Makgamathe 31 March 2005 (has links)
This work is aimed at the understanding of the dynamical behavior of hydrogen in diamond. The investigation was carried out using Transverse Field muon Spin Rotation (TF-SR) and the Longitudinal Field muon Spin Relaxation (LF-SR) techniques. The chemical analogy between hydrogen (p+e-) and muonium (u+e-) enabled the study of the indirect dynamical behavior of hydrogen in diamond. The TF-SR and LF-SR measurements were carried out in an isotopically pure 13C diamond in the temperature ranges 11 mK - 320 K and 10 K - 400 K, respectively. In the TF-SR results, the Prompt Absolute Fraction (PAF) of both diamagnetic and the paramagnetic states are temperature independent. The spin relaxation rate for the state is non-zero and temperature independent, while that of the Mux state is non-zero and temperature dependent. The behavior of indicates that the u+d is immobile, while that of MuT indicates the mobility in diamond. The LF-SR results provide hop rate and associated nuclear hyperfine interaction parameters of the Mut state in diamond. / Physics / M.Sc. (Physics)
