The nuclear polarization of 
molecules formed by
recombination of
nuclear polarized H atoms on the surface of a storage cell
initially coated with a silicon-based
polymer has been measured by using
the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry in deep-inelastic positron-proton
scattering. The molecules are found to have a substantial nuclear polarization,
which is evidence that initially polarized atoms retain their nuclear
polarization when absorbed on this type of surface.
