Abstract:
The precession frequencies of negative-muon spin rotation in highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and its second stage Rb compound were measured at room temperature. The results showed that a μ- C-C bond is formed from sp2 hybrid orbitals involving the partially filled pz orbital and that intercalation influences the σ as well as the π bonds.
