Abstract: A new type of muonium defect centre has been observed in undoped CdS at low temperatures (T < 20K), The hyperfine parameters are A(parallel to) = 335 (7)kHz and A(perpendicular to) = 199 (6) kHz (approximately 10(-4) of the vacuum value) with the symmetry axis along the Cd-S bond direction. The disappearance of the centre at around 20 K is in agreement with the binding energy of a shallow centre. The extremely weak hyper fine interaction implies that the electron is only weakly bound to the muon acid is distributed over a large complex of atoms in the neighborhood of the muon resembling the dilated hydrogen-like wave functions of shallow centres in a dielectric medium. Comparing the hyperfine interaction with that of free muonium, a Bohr radius of a(d) = 26a(0) = 1.4 nm is calculated for this defect, with a(0) being the Bohr radius for the free muonium, (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
