Resonance Frequency and NMR Relaxation Times in Two Inequivalent 133Cs in Cs2CuBr4 and Cs2ZnBr4 Single Crystals

Аннотация

The resonance frequencies and relaxation mechanisms of Cs₂CuBr₄ and Cs₂ZnBr₄ were examined by static nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method. Here, the two inequivalent Cs(1) and Cs(2) sites surrounded by Br ions were distinguished. The saturation recovery traces for ¹³³Cs nuclei in Cs₂CuBr₄ with the paramagnetic ions, and those in Cs₂ZnBr₄ without the paramagnetic ions were each fitted by four exponential functions. From these results, the spin–lattice relaxation times T₁ in the laboratory frame of ¹³³Cs nuclei in the two crystals were obtained, and Cs(1) surrounded by 11 bromide ions has a longer relaxation time than Cs(2) surrounded by 9 bromide ions.
