Positive muons were injected into both trans- and cis-${(\mathrm{CH})}_{x}$ as well as ${(\mathrm{CD})}_{x}$. A marked difference was found in the field dependence of the muon spin-relaxation functions between cis- and trans-polyacetylene. A quantitative explanation was obtained by considering the unpaired electron produced by a muon: It is localized at the nearby carbons in cis-polyacetylene forming a radical state; on the other hand, in trans-polyacetylene, it becomes highly mobile and takes a one-dimensional solitonlike motion as clearly indicated by the inverse-root field dependence found for the relaxation rates.
