Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to open up muonium (Mu) defect research using the electron spin resonance method, we have developed an RF probe required for the experiment and established the method through a demonstration experiment at the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility at J-PARC. Using this probe, we succeeded in measuring the g-values of paramagnetic Mu defects in rutile TiO2, and obtained a result suggesting that there may be small differences between the g-values of Mu defects and those of paramagnetic H defects. Further improvement of the measurement accuracy of the g-values by means of instrumentation improvements is expected to advance the study of the isotope effects on Mu and H defects.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

常磁性Mu欠陥のg値を測定する手法を確立したことにより、その電子状態をより多角的に解析できるようになった。これは水素とMuのアナロジーに基づいた水素欠陥研究と、水素・Mu欠陥間の差異に関する同位体科学のさらなる発展につながる成果である。また、本研究を通してJ-PARCミュオン実験施設に初めて導入された4He温度におけるRFスピン共鳴技術は、Mu欠陥研究に限らず低温物性研究に広く応用できることから、磁性研究などの他分野への波及効果も期待される。
