In this work, we have used the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method to study the rotational barrier for the muoniated–tetraphenylsilane, SiPh4–Mu system. Three Muonium (Mu) trapping sites were considered in the investigations, namely ortho, meta, and para positions on one of the phenyl rings. Th...
