Abstract

The Korringa relaxation rate for a local moment of an impurity in a heavy fermion compound is calculated using the model of Yoshimori and Kasai. Consistent with the recent ESR data for local moments in UBe13, the relaxation rate is found to be unaffected by the heavy fermion renormalizations. This result can be traced to the single-site approximation and the weakk dependence of the conduction electron self-energy.
