Example types with muonic
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Muon-catalyzed fusion is a technical application of muonic atoms. (10 words)
Muonic helium is created by substituting a muon for one of the electrons in helium-4. (16 words)
Negative muons can, however, form muonic atoms (also called mu-mesic atoms ), by replacing an electron in ordinary atoms. (19 words)
He appears as the boss of the Tarnax IV level and the heroes must confront him (while he tries to devour the Skrull Homeworld) to steal the Muonic Inducer in order to power the M'Kraan Crystal that will help them defeat the now godlike Doctor Doom. (47 words)
Since a muon is more massive than an electron, the Bohr orbits are closer to the nucleus in a muonic atom than in an ordinary atom, and corrections due to quantum electrodynamics are more important. (35 words)
Muonic hydrogen atoms are much smaller than typical hydrogen atoms because the much larger mass of the muon gives it a much more localized ground-state wavefunction than is observed for the electron. (33 words)
Example sentences (9)
For example, electrons may be replaced by other negatively charged particles such as muons (muonic atoms) or pions (pionic atoms).
He appears as the boss of the Tarnax IV level and the heroes must confront him (while he tries to devour the Skrull Homeworld) to steal the Muonic Inducer in order to power the M'Kraan Crystal that will help them defeat the now godlike Doctor Doom.
However, in 2010 an international research team published a proton charge radius measurement via the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen (an exotic atom made of a proton and a negatively charged muon ).
Muon-catalyzed fusion is a technical application of muonic atoms.
Muonic helium is created by substituting a muon for one of the electrons in helium-4.
Muonic hydrogen atoms are much smaller than typical hydrogen atoms because the much larger mass of the muon gives it a much more localized ground-state wavefunction than is observed for the electron.

Since a muon is more massive than an electron, the Bohr orbits are closer to the nucleus in a muonic atom than in an ordinary atom, and corrections due to quantum electrodynamics are more important.
Study of muonic atoms' energy levels as well as transition rates from excited states to the ground state therefore provide experimental tests of quantum electrodynamics.
