Description

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

\[A(t)=\frac{A_0*G(t)*L(t)}{3}(2P_x+P_z)\]

where:

\[G(t) = e^{-0.5(\sigma t)^2},\]
\[L(t) = e^{-\Lambda t},\]
\[P_z(t) = \frac{1}{2J+1}\left\{1+\sum^J_{m=-J+1}[\cos^2(2\alpha_m)+\sin^2(2\alpha_m)\cos(\lambda^+_m-\lambda^-_m)t]\right\},\]
\[P_x(t) = \frac{1}{2J+1}\sum^J_{m=-J} \{ \cos^2\alpha_{m+1}\sin^2\alpha_m\cos(\lambda_{m+1}^+-\lambda_m^+)t +\cos^2\alpha_{m+1}\cos^2\alpha_m\cos(\lambda_{m+1}^+-\lambda_m^-)t +\sin^2\alpha_{m+1}\sin^2\alpha_m\cos(\lambda_{m+1}^--\lambda_m^+)t +\sin^2\alpha_{m+1}\cos^2\alpha_m\cos(\lambda_{m+1}^--\lambda_m^-)t\},\]
\[\lambda_m^\pm = \frac{1}{2}[\omega_Q(2m^2-2m+1)+\omega_D\pm W_m],\]
\[W_m = \{(\omega_D+\omega_Q)^2(2m-1)^2+\omega_D^2[J(J+1)-m(m-1)]\}^\frac{1}{2},\]
\[\tan(2\alpha_m)=\frac{\omega_D[J(J+1)-m(m-1)]^\frac{1}{2}}{(1-2m)(\omega_D+\omega_Q)},\]

\(A_0\) is the amplitude

\(\omega_D\) 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

\(\sigma\) is the gaussian decay rate

\(\Lambda\) is the exponential decay rate

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