Muons are particles with a spin of ½ that can be implanted into a wide range of condensed
matter materials to act as a local probe of the surrounding atomic environment …

This is an introductory survey of the vibrational spectroscopy of defects in semiconductors
that contain light-mass elements. The capabilities of vibrational spectroscopy for the …

Thin films of rare-earth metal oxyhydrides, such as yttrium oxyhydrides (YH 3− 2 x O x), show
a photochromic effect where the transparency of the films decreases reversibly upon …

Hydrogen dynamics in the nanoscale region of VO 2 was investigated by muon spin
rotation/relaxation (μ SR) technique. Positively charged muon acts as a light radioisotope of …

Despite being the simplest element, hydrogen (H) exhibits complex behavior in materials
due to its unique ambipolar character. In particular, it is recognized as one of the most …

Thin films and pn junctions for solar cells based on the absorber materials Cu (In, G a) Se 2
and Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 were investigated as a function of depth using implanted low energy …

We perform detailed muon spin rotation (μ SR) measurements in the classic antiferromagnet
Fe 2 O 3 and explain the spectra by considering dynamic population and dissociation of …

We present a systematic study of isolated hydrogen in diverse forms of ZrO 2 (zirconia), both
undoped and stabilized in the cubic phase by additions of transition-metal oxides (Y 2 O 3 …

We report a comprehensive muon spin rotation (μ SR) study of the prototypical
magnetoelectric antiferromagnet Cr 2 O 3. We find the positively charged muon (μ+) …

The electronic structure of hydrogen impurity in Lu 2 O 3 was studied by first-principles
calculations and muonium spectroscopy. The computational scheme was based on two …
