Abstract

Abstract The temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation time T1 for the Re NQR in KReO4 , NH4ReO4 and ND4ReO4 has been measured between 77 K and 323 K. The relaxation is electric quadrupolar in all cases, and because of the large quadrupole moment of Re, T1 is short. In KReO4 T1 follows a T2 dependence. In NH4ReO4 , T1 decreases more rapidly than T-2 above about 100 K; between 170 K and 250 K T1 is smaller than 100 (is and could not be measured, but above 250 K, T1 increases to about 140 μs, and the measured data near room temperature lie close to the T-2 extrapolation from the T1 values below 100 K. These results are interpreted as normal anharmonic Raman quadrupolar relaxation, with a T-2 dependence on temperature, combined with an additional relaxation process due to switching of the ammonium ion between two possible orientations.
