Abstract: | The lattice sites of positive pions in gold have been determined as a function of temperature by means of π+/μ
+ channelling experiments. A blocking pattern in the <100> direction at low temperatures indicates that only octahedral interstitial
sites are occupied. The vanishing of this pattern and the reduction of muon flux enhancement observed in <110> ifT is raised above the Debye temperature (165 K) may be interpreted in terms of muon dechannelling owing to the thermal vibrations
of the lattice atoms.
Time-differential π+/μ
+ channelling studies on α-iron showed between 20 K and 70 K a strong dependence of the channelling profiles on the time the
pions spent in the sample. The ‘young’ pions are well localized on O- or T-sites whereas the ‘old’ pions either become delocalized
or occupy sites with strongly reduced symmetry. A model accounting for these observations is suggested. It is argued that
there is a close relationship to earlierμ
+ SR experiments. |
