Abstract
Positive muon spin relaxation was measured in Al-0.047% Mg quenched from 873 K under zero external magnetic field from 6.3 K to 270 K. The observed spectra were analysed with the calculated muon spin relaxation function which included the static relaxation rates, the trapping rates, the detrapping rates and thet=0 initial trapping fractions. Due to the precise measurements and the realistic expression of spin relaxation function, above four parameters could be determined distinctly. The trapping rates and the distortions around a muon were determined from the values of static relaxation rates at a trapping site. The diffusion features were clearly described by the trapping and detrapping rates. The diffusion process was determined by the temperature dependence of these parameters.
