Donor muonium state in rutile titanium dioxide

DOI

Rutile titanium dioxide is one of the most relevant oxide materials, where the impurity physics of hydrogen has recently been devoted much attention. Existing ab-initio calculations disagree with respect to the nature of the isolated hydrogen donor (shallow vs. deep) and it was not possible in previous muSR experiments to obtain a direct determination of the hyperfine interaction. In a previous Muon Xpress proposal, we checked the existence of shallow donor lines in a monocrystalline sample and now propose to characterize its hyperfine interaction, both by an orientation-dependence study in order to check for possible anisotropy, and by obtaining a full temperature-dependence curve.
