We report the observation of a muon-nuclear level-crossing resonance (LCR) in the antiferromagnet MnF/sub 2/. The resonance occurs when the spin transition frequency of an interstitial muon is matched to that of the nearest-neighbor /sup 19/F nuclei, allowing for a resonant transfer of polarization from the muon to the nuclei. The applied external field H/sub 0/ at which the LCR occurs is a measure of the local magnetic field on the neighboring /sup 19/F nuclei. The observed shift relative to earlier /sup 19/F NMR results is attributed to the disturbing influence of the muon. A second resonance was observed when H/sub 0/ cancels the longitudinal component of the local field at the muon.
