Abstract
Muonium spin relaxation measurements of the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-t ridymite phases of quartz have been carried out over a temperature ran ge from 300 to 1250 K. Anomalous relaxation rate increases are observe d which may result either from resonance coupling between the other im purity ions and defects in the lattice and the diffusing muonium, or m ay result from phonon interactions with the muonium quadrupole moment.
