Abstract
Nuclear spin precessions due to the transient magnetic field in polarized Fe have been measured as a function of the initial velocity of28Si ions in the first-excited nuclear state. The transient field was found to increase linearly with the ion velocityv in the regionv/c=0.006–0.049. This is in contrast to the Lindhard and Winther model, which requires an inverse proportionality with ion velocity. Reanalysis of an earlier measurement on30Si(21+) with the linear velocity dependence yields a reduced value for theg-factor ofg=0.37±0.12. Other available velocity-dependent data for22Ne,56Fe and196Pt are consistent with a linear velocity dependence and suggest in addition a linear dependence on the nuclear charge Z of the moving ion. The increase of the transient field with recoil velocity can be explained semi-quantitatively by the capture of polarized Fe electrons into 1s and 2s vacancies in the moving ion. The velocity-dependent data and other discrepancies from the Lindhard and Winther model for16N,18O and very recently, for12C are also discussed in terms of the proposed microscopic model.
