Abstract
The electronic structures and hyperfine interactions of muonium and hydrogen in α-quartz are investigated by the unrestricted Hartree-Fock cluster procedure. The muonium is found to be trapped near the center of the line joining two silicon atoms. On including vibrational effects, the muon hyperfine constant comes out as 1.09 times that for free muonium, this ratio being larger than unity and smaller than for protons in trapped hydrogen, both features being in agreement with experiment.
