Dynamics of charge carriers at the place of the formation of a muonic atom in diamond and silicon
The space-time distribution of charge carriers at the place of the location of a muonic atom formed when a negative muon is captured by an atom of the lattice has been numerically simulated taking into account the self-consistent electric field. The results of {mu}SR experiments with negative muons in diamond crystals have been explained and reasons for the difference in the behavior of the spin polarization of the negative muon in boron-doped diamond and in silicon have been revealed. The condition of the validity of the analytical solution of this problem has been obtained. It has been shown that the muonic atom in diamond, in contrast to silicon, does not form a neutral acceptor center in the paramagnetic state during the muon experiment and remains in the diamagnetic state of a positive ion.
