| Abstract: | Slow muonium (Mu) emission from the surface of iridium (Ir) foil has been observed in vacuum above sim1200 K with a yield of 5(1)% Mu per incident muon stopped in the foil. The relative Mu signal was found to be thermally activated with Ea=1.86(1) eV. Analysis of the time‐differential evolution of Mu in vacuum at TIr=1580 K showed that the trapping rate of positive muons during diffusion in the bulk Ir was nearly zero. In situ measurements of the surface of Ir with X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy verified that the main source of impurities in the 99.9%‐Ir was molybdenum (Mo). This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
