Paramagnetic muonium states in elemental sulfur
Abstract
Zero-point vibrational corrections are calculated by abinitio molecular orbital methods for the energy and the reduced hyperfine tensor of the muonated sulfanyl radical SMu 2Π. Only a small α-isotope effect is found for the reduced isotropic muon–electron hyperfine coupling constant of SMu relative to SH. Interstitial muonium in S8 is also investigated. The results are discussed in the light of recent observations on muonium in elemental sulfur.
