Abstract

A new technique to study the spin dynamics of a static positive muon interacting with neighboring nuclear spins is presented. The method is based on the Trotter formula and on a random phase assumption about the initial state of the host spin system. Exact results for the case of muons localized at the octahedral interstitial site in copper are compared to recent LCR-(level-crossing-resonace) measurements.
