Muon spin rotation (µSR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique that helps to study the behavior of materials at the atomic level. It involves using muons—subatomic particles similar to protons but with ...

In µSR spectroscopy, a unique particle called muonium (Mu) is formed when a muon captures an electron. This muonium reacts with the phosphorus compound, creating a highly reactive radical at the ...

Galactic chemical evolution models of the Milky Way historically underproduce phosphorus compared to observations, Marco Pignatari, an astrophysicist at Hungary’s Konkoly Observatory in Budapest ...

Muon spin rotation (µSR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique used to study the behavior of materials at the atomic level. In this study, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo employed µSR ...

Phosphorus has five electrons in its outer energy level, not four. It bonds with its silicon neighbor atoms, but one electron is not involved in bonding. Instead, it is free to move inside the silicon ...
