Abstract
The 153Eu spin-spin relaxation for two spherical EuO single crystals of different composition has been measured for two saturating field values of 2 and 6 T. The relaxation can be described by two time constants, a short one increasing with the magnetic field, arising from the Suhl-Nakamura coupling and a long one, due to the dipolar coupling, which is field independent. It is shown that the number of nuclei which are relaxed due to the dipolar coupling increases at increasing magnetic fields, in agreement with the Suhl-Nakamura theory. For the sample which is nearly stoichiometric the relative number of nuclei which is relaxed due to the SN coupling is much larger than for the sample which contains an excess of Eu atoms.
