14N Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Relaxation in the Paramagnetic Region of Uranium Mononitride

Аннотация

The spin susceptibility of a polycrystalline sample of uranium mononitride UN is studied by measuring the ¹⁴N NMR line shift, spin–lattice relaxation rates of the nuclear spin, and static magnetic susceptibility in the temperature region of 1.5T_N < T < 7T_N A joint analysis of the results obtained has revealed the temperature dependence of the characteristic energy of spin fluctuations of the uranium 5f electrons: Γ_nmr(T) ∝ T^0.54(4) close to the dependence Γ(T) ∝ T^0.5 characteristic of concentrated Kondo systems above the coherent state formation temperature.
