Abstract

The β-NMR study of short-lived nucleus 58Cu (Iπ = 1+, T1/2 = 3.2 s) in Si has been performed. Spin polarization of 58Cu induced by the charge exchange reaction of 58Ni was observed in Si at 15 K. The 58Cu magnetic moment {pipe}μ[58Cu]{pipe} = (0.46±0.03)μN deduced from the β-NMR spectrum is consistent with the previous results on the laser spectroscopy. The present result shows that the 58Cu nucleus is promising as a new nuclear probe for the microscopic study of Cu impurities in Si.
