Abstract
The mu+SR were measured on CsMgCl3 single crystals to elucidate the mu onium formation and migration in isostructural magnetic halides. More than 60% of incident mu+ were found to form muonium and the fraction o f the muonium shows little temperature dependence. A part of muonium l ocated near Mg2+ ions with zero nuclear dipole moments gives a fast re laxing component in the spectra. It was concluded from the decrease of asymmetry and the peak of the relaxation rate of the recovered asymme try that muonium migrates above 90 K.
