Abstract

Muonium (Mu) centers formed upon implantation of $\mu^+$ in a solid have long been investigated as an experimentally accessible model of isolated hydrogen impurities. Recent discoveries of hydridic centers formed at oxygen vacancies have stimulated a renewed interest in H$^-$ and corresponding Mu$^-$ centers in oxides. However, the two diamagnetic centers, Mu$^+$ and Mu$^-$, are difficult to separate spectroscopically. In this review article, we summarize established and developing methodologies for identifying Mu$^-$ centers in solids, and review recent Mu studies on said centers supposedly formed in mayenite, oxygen-deficient SrTiO$_{3-x}$, and BaTiO$_{3-x}$H$_x$ oxyhydride.
