Abstract The angular and magnetic field dependence of the transverseμSR relaxation rate in single crystal Sc shows unambiguously that, at low temperatures, the muon is localized along theĉ-axis joining interstitial tetrahedral sites. The best agreement with the measured results, covering a complete range of high and low field data, is obtained on assuming a muon state with fast tunnelling between two adjacent sites at positionsz/c=±0.09 above and below thea−b plane. Both contributions from the muon-induced electric field gradient and that inherent to the crystal were considered.
