Abstract
The contributions of different mechanisms of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation are experimentally separated for 69Ga and 71Ga nuclei in GaAs crystals (nominally pure and doped with copper and chromium), 23Na nuclei in a nominally pure NaCl crystal, and 27Al nuclei in nominally pure and lightly chromium-doped Al2O3 crystals in the temperature range 80–300 K. The contribution of impurities to spin-lattice relaxation is separated under the condition of additional stationary saturation of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) line in magnetic and electric resonance fields. It is demonstrated that, upon suppression of the impurity mechanism of spin-lattice relaxation, the temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation time T 1 for GaAs and NaCl crystals is described within the model of two-phonon Raman processes in the Debye approximation, whereas the temperature dependence of T 1 for corundum crystals deviates from the theoretical curve for relaxation due to the spin-phonon interaction.
