Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation in Ionic Crystals at High Temperatures

The spin-lattice relaxation time is measured by the recovery method for Na/sup 23/ and F/sup 19/ nuclei in NaCl, NaF, BaF./sub 2/, and LiF, at temperatures up to approximately 900 deg K, The Na/sup 23/ relaxation time is well predicted by phonon-phonon interaction theory at the lower temperatures, a...

Zusammenfassung:The spin-lattice relaxation time is measured by the recovery method for Na/sup 23/ and F/sup 19/ nuclei in NaCl, NaF, BaF./sub 2/, and LiF, at temperatures up to approximately 900 deg K, The Na/sup 23/ relaxation time is well predicted by phonon-phonon interaction theory at the lower temperatures, and by vacancy diffusion theory in higher ranges. The F/sup 19/ relaxation time at the lower temperatures (below 500 to 700 deg K, depending onthe compound) is attributed to spin-spin diffusion in conjunction with paramagnetic impurities; at higher temperatures a decrease consistent with the effects of vacancy diffusion is observed, with an activation energy of 0.65 ev in NaF and of 0.82 ev in BaF/ sub 2/.
