The spin-lattice relaxation time of dilute potassium ferricyanide was measured as a function of the orientation of the static magnetic field in three orthogonal planes at 9.4 GHz and 1.75 °K.A calculation of the spin-phonon Hamiltonian applicable to the case of three Kramer doublets degenerate with respect to the cubic component of the crystalline bond is given. The theory was applied to the ferricyanide on the basis of Van Vleck's point-charge model.Despite the fact that the ferricyanide complex is known to be considerably covalent, it is found that the theory gives a satisfactory prediction of the observed angular dependence.

Abstract The spin-lattice relaxation time T1 in 103Ru has been determined on the basis of the Dirac theory and strict relativistic band structure calculations. The low temperature relaxation time T(of 103Ru in an axially symmetric quadrupole field and the quadrupole moment Q have been measured by Green and Stone using the technique of low temperature quadrupole orientation. For the usual reference value T1 T, which corresponds to relaxation in a Zeeman spectrum, they obtain 39(6) sK, which exceeds our value by 134%. This large discrepancy is attributed to the fact that the spin relaxation by direct quadrupole scattering of conduction electrons, the so-called Mitchell contribution, is dominant. According to our calculations it amounts to 81% of the total relaxation rate. This contribution could not be included in the evaluation of the experimental data.

Abstract The temperature dependence o f the 35Cl NQR frequency and spin-lattice relaxation time T1Q of (NH4)2SeCl6 and (ND4)2SeCl6 were measured from 400 K to 24.8 and 53.8 K, respectively. The disappearance of NQR signals in the low temperature region of both salts is attributed to phase transitions. We concluded from the temperature behavior of just above the transition point that the operative mechanism o f the transition is different in these salts: The transition of (ND4)2SeCl6 seems to be associated with rotary soft modes, while in the natural salt non-rotary soft modes seem to play an important role at the transition.
