Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance of cobalt metal was investigated in the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic states and in the critical region below T c. The Knight shift and spin lattice relaxation times were measured in the paramagnetic phase in the solid and liquid states from 1578 K to 1825 K. The resonant frequency, spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation times were measured in the ferromagnetic phase from room temperature to 1385 K. The main part of (T 1T) -1 results from fluctuating orbital moments in both phases except near T c where this process forms the background for critical spin relaxation. The critical exponents for T -1 1 and for the magnetization in the ferromagnetic state were found to be n' = 0.96 ± 0.07 and β = 0.308 ± 0.012, respectively.
