Description

Time dependence of the polarization function for a static muon interacting with nuclear spin [1].

\[A(t)=\frac13(2P_x+P_z)\]

,where

\[P_z(t) = \frac{1}{2J+1}\left\{1+\sum^J_{m=-J+1}[\cos^2(2\alpha_m)+\sin^2(2\alpha_m)\cos(\lambda^+_m-\lambda^-_m)t]\right\},\]
\[P_x(t) = \frac{1}{2J+1}\sum^J_{m=-J} \{ \cos^2\alpha_{m+1}\sin^2\alpha_m\cos(\lambda_{m+1}^+-\lambda_m^+)t +\cos^2\alpha_{m+1}\cos^2\alpha_m\cos(\lambda_{m+1}^+-\lambda_m^-)t +\sin^2\alpha_{m+1}\sin^2\alpha_m\cos(\lambda_{m+1}^--\lambda_m^+)t +\sin^2\alpha_{m+1}\cos^2\alpha_m\cos(\lambda_{m+1}^--\lambda_m^-)t\},\]
\[\lambda_m^\pm = \frac{1}{2}[\omega_Q(2m^2-2m+1)+\omega_D\pm W_m],\]
\[W_m = \{(\omega_D+\omega_Q)^2(2m-1)^2+\omega_D^2[J(J+1)-m(m-1)]\}^\frac{1}{2},\]
\[\tan(2\alpha_m)=\frac{\omega_D[J(J+1)-m(m-1)]^\frac{1}{2}}{(1-2m)(\omega_D+\omega_Q)},\]

\(\omega_D\) is the angular frequency due to dipolar coupling,

\(\omega_Q\) is the angular frequency due to quadrupole interaction of the nuclear spin \(J\) due to a field gradient exerted by the presence of the muon,

\(J\) is the total angular momentum quantum number,

and \(m\) is the z-component of the total orbital quantum number.
