THE NUCLEAR SPIN RESONANCE SPECTRUM OF Al27 IN SPODUMENE

Abstract

An experimental study has been made of the nuclear spin resonance spectrum of Al27 in a single crystal of spodumene (LiAl(SiO3)2) over a range of external magnetic field H0 wide enough [Formula: see text] to bridge for the first time the gap between pure quadrupole spectra (R = 0) and Zeeman spectra slightly perturbed by quadrupole interactions [Formula: see text]. Experimental results on the resonance frequencies and relative signal amplitudes obtained with an induction type of nuclear resonance spectrometer are described, and are found to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions given in the preceding companion paper.
