Abstract

The dependence of the residual polarization of negative muons in p-type Si on temperature in the 4.2–270 K range has been investigated. Measurements were carried out in external magnetic field of 0.08 T transverse to the muon spin. The impurity concentration in the sample was 2 · 1013 cm−3. Muon spin relaxation was observed at temperatures below 30 K. The relaxation rate atT=30 K is equal to 0.18±0.08μs−1. The relaxation rate grows with the decrease of temperature and at 4.2 K exceeds 30μs−1. The value of the residual polarization at zero timeP(t=0) is constant within the investigated temperature range.
