Abstract

The technique of positive muon spin depolarization is reviewed, and its sensitivity to the presence of defects in metals is discussed. Results are presented of an experimental survey on copper, aluminum, indium and beryllium. There are indications of μ+ trapping at defects in neutron-irradiated and deformed copper, in indium near its melting point, and in beryllium. The results are discussed in the context of muon diffusion.
