| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Infrared-irradiated muon spin relaxation measurements on KTaO3, SrTiO3, and rutile TiO2 were performed in the D1 area of J-PARC MLF to verify the infrared-stimulated proton transfer effect in proton conducting oxides that was proposed on the basis of infrared pump-probe studies. In this study, positively charged muons were used as a pseudoisotope of hydrogen and were implanted into the oxide samples to investigate the possible infrared-stimulated effect on their diffusion properties. A high-power xenon flash lamp was adopted as a source of infrared light. However, the infrared-stimulated effect on muon diffusion was not detected under this condition possibly due to insufficient light intensity. Further experiments are required with an upgraded light source.
