RELAXATION OF DILUTED NICKEL FLUOSILICATE AT LOW TEMPERATURES BY STEADY-STATE RESONANCE ABSORPTION TECHNIQUES.
Abstract
Relaxation rates from spin-lattice interaction were measured by the steady-state saturation of 3-cm microwaves in electron spin resonance at liquid-helium temperature for the paramagnetic material nickel fluosilicate. The absolute values of the relaxation time were in agreement with those found earlier in pulse measurements. The temperature dependence of the relaxation rate indicated that the direct process dominates. The relaxation rate decreases sharply when the magnetic concentration of the magnetic ions is reduced. The dependence of absorption signal of the microwave input power was that appropriate to homogeneously broadened lines, despite the fact that the lines of nickel fluosilicate have been thought to be inhomogeneously broadened. This behavior is interpreted in terms of the dominant role of cross relaxation processes. (Author)
