Abstract

Muon spin spectroscopy and in particular the avoid level crossing (ALC) technique is a sensitive probe of electron spin relaxation (eSR) in organic semiconductors. In complex ALC spectra, eSR can be challenging to extract, as it requires the modelling of overlapping ALCs, where covariance between parameters can result in significant uncertainties. Here we demonstrate a general method to extract eSR rate, which is independent on the number of ALCs resonances present, whether they overlap or not, and what the muonium hyperfine (isotropic and anisotropic) parameters are. This can then be used to extract an accurate value for eSR rate and as guidance for undertaking experiments efficiently
