Abstract
Low temperature nuclear orientation (NO) and nuclear magnetic resonance on oriented nuclei (NMRON) are used to investigate the magnetic properties of solids, and are especially useful when high sensitivity is required, for example in the study of small or dilute systems. Measurement of the static hyperfine interaction and the nuclear spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation times T 1 and T 2 yield information about the electronic magnetization and spin dynamics, respectively. A number of NMRON techniques are available and their application to the study of magnetism will be briefly discussed. In particular, the pulsed technique has been shown to be effective for studying insulators. Recent NO and NMRON measurements, primarily on insulating magnets and magnetic multilayers, will be reviewed. Spins of stable isotopes can also be investigated using NMR thermally detected by NO (NMR-TDNO), and this method, in combination with NMRON, has been recently applied in both metals and insulators to obtain information about nuclear spin-spin couplings, “frequency pulling” and nuclear magnons.
