Abstract
Using the Unrestricted Hartree Fock (UHF) Cluster Procedure, it is shown that for the normal muonium (Mu) center, the tetrahedral site is the most favorable in the two systems diamond and silicon investigated, while for the anomalous muonium (Mu*) center, a site displaced in the <111> direction with respect to a vacancy in a double-positively charged environment is the appropriate one for all three elemental semiconductors. Using our calculated electronic wave-functions, one is able to explain all features of the observed hyperfine properties of both centers and, in a number of cases, obtain good quantitative agreement with experiment.
