Electron g-value comparison of paramagnetic muonium and hydrogen centers in rutile TiO2
Abstract
Muonium (Mu) is widely used as a model for isolated hydrogen in condensed matter, but whether its electronic state is truly equivalent to that of hydrogen remains to be tested with an orbital-sensitive probe. Here we use double electron-muon resonance to determine the electron g values of the paramagnetic Mu center in rutile TiO2 for magnetic fields along [100], [110], and [001] directions. The obtained g values closely follow those of the H-related Ti3+ paramagnetic center in both magnitude and anisotropy. This agreement tests the Mu--H correspondence at the level of the Ti 3d electronic state and supports a common localized Ti3+ electronic core for the two centers.

The obtained g values closely follow those of the H-related Ti^3+ paramagnetic center in both magnitude and anisotropy. This agreement tests the Mu--H correspondence at the level of the Ti 3d electronic state and supports a common localized Ti^3+ electronic core for the two centers.
