Abstract
This paper describes the phenomenon of level crossing resonance (or avoided level crossing) encountered in paramagnetic systems involving a muon. Recent experiments on muonated radicals and muonium defect centers in semiconductors are reviewed which demonstrate how the technique provides detailed information on nuclear hyperfine structure, which is unresolvable with more standard techniques. The science implications are discussed.
