Abstract

The diamagnetic signal in aqueous solutions of non-reacting salts arises from muons substituted for protons in water molecules. For concentrated solutions of paramagnetic salts, muon spin relaxation results from the strong dipolar and scalar interactions between the paramagnetic ion and the muon. Information on dynamic and structural aspects of such solutions is derived from measurements of the transverse relaxation rate as a function of applied field over a wide range. Data are presented for concentrated solutions of Mn(NO3)2 and solutions of composition Mn x Ca(1−x (NO3)2·6H2O.
