Abstract
The location and hyperfine properties of muonium in AlP is investigate d by the unrestricted Hartree-Fock cluster procedure. Two minima are f ound, one at the aluminium tetrahedral interstitial site, and the othe r at the corresponding phosphorus site. The former is deeper by 0.25 e V and separated from the other minimum by a steep maximum of 0.63 eV i n the hexagonal region. Using the calculated electronic wave functions , the muon hyperfine constant, after vibrational averaging, comes out smaller than the value for free muonium, the ratio being 0.93. This va lue is, however, significantly higher than the experimental results in GaP and GaAs.
