Hyperfine Interactions of Sm and Co in Sm2Co17
Abstract
The Sm and Co hyperfine fields in Sm2Co17 have been measured at 4.2 K by means of the zero-field NMR spin-echo technique. The Sm resonance shows the existence of the Th2Ni17-type structure with two inequivalent sites for the Sm nucleus having hyperfine fields of 3.40 x 10 (expn 6) and 3.48 x 10 (expn 6) G. It also shows that the effect of the mixing of the excited J = (7/2) level into the ground J = (5/2) multiplet by crystal- and exchange-field effects had a smaller effect on the hyperfine interaction than was expected. The hyperfine fields of the 59Co resonance show a broad distribution from 110 to 220 MHz which we were able to correlate to the number of neighboring Co and Sm atoms surrounding the site in question.
