The electronic structure and the location of muonium centers (Mu) in single-crystalline ZnO were determined for the first time. Two species of Mu centers with extremely small hyperfine parameters have been observed below 40 K. Both Mu centers have an axial-symmetric hyperfine structure along with a <0001> axis, indicating that they are located at the antibonding (AB(O,parallel to)) and bond-center (BCparallel to) sites. It is inferred from their small ionization energy (similar or equal to6 and 50 meV) and hyperfine parameters (similar to10(-4) times the vacuum value) that these centers behave as shallow donors, strongly suggesting that hydrogen is one of the primary origins of n type conductivity in as-grown ZnO.
