Muon sites in PbF2 and YF3: Decohering environments and the role of anion Frenkel defects

Muons implanted into ionic fluorides often lead to a so-called F–μ–F state, in which the time evolution of the muon spin contains information about the geometry and nature of the muon site. Nuclei more distant from the muon than the two nearest-neighbor fluorine ions result in decoherence of the F–μ...
