| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have conducted muon-spin-rotation experiments on high-pressure mantle minerals to explore the possibility that hydrogen may exist in the form of neutral atom in the Earth’s deep mantle. The positive muon implanted in stishovite, a high-pressure phase of quartz, was found to capture electron to form muonium and exist in small and anisotropic interstitial voids of the structure. This finding may suggest the possible existence of neutral atomic hydrogen and challenge the established dogma that hydrogen exists in the form of a hydroxyl group.
