Muon spin rotation studies of organic liquids
Abstract
Several organic liquids have been studied using the muon spin rotation (µ.s.r.) technique. Radicals are seen in some of these compounds, formed by the addition of muonium (the muonic analogue of hydrogen) to an unsaturated molecule. Hyperfine interaction constants are calculated for the radicals and compared with those obtained for protonic radicals by other techniques. The magnitude of the diamagnetic fraction in the liquids is discussed.
