The local electronic structure of muons (Mu) as dilute pseudohydrogen in single-crystallinehas been studied by the muon spin rotation/relaxation. High-precision measurements over a long time range of ∼25µs have clearly identified two distinct Mu states: a quasistatic Muand fast-moving Mu. By comparing this result with predictions from the recently established ambipolarity model, these two states are respectively attributed to the relaxed-excited states associated with the donorand acceptorlevels predicted by density functional theory (DFT) calculations for the interstitial H. Furthermore, the local electronic structure ofis found to be an OMu-bonded state with three-coordinated oxygen. The structure is almost identical with the thermal equilibrium state of H, and it is found to function as an electron donor. The otheris considered to be in the hydride statefrom the ambipolarity model, suggesting that it is in fast diffusion motion through the short-lived neutral state due to the charge exchange reaction with conduction electrons.
