Abstract
Muon spin relaxation in solid He-3 depends non-monotonously on the tem perature. It is shown that this is entirely due to the magnetic dipole -dipole interactions. The observed line narrowing cannot be explained by the mechanism of positive charge hopping described by an Arrhenius- like law. The relaxation rate at low temperatures was found to increas e under the influence of an external electric field.
