    Abstract

    Muon spin relaxation has been used to study the muon dynamics in the layered zirconium phosphate Zr(H2PO4)(PO4) (.) 2H(2)O as a function of temperature. Radiofrequency decoupling was used to establish the origin of the local dipolar field as coupling with 1 H spins. Muons were trapped at two sites, one identified as HMuO and the other consistent with PO-Mu on the basis of their zero-field second moments. Although a small decrease in the local nuclear dipolar field was seen with temperature, the muons remained essentially static over the temperature range 20-300 K.
