Title: Effect of superconductivity on spin dynamics in (Y/sub 1-x/Re/sub x/)Rh/sub 4/B/sub 4/

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6306414

An adiabatic field-cycle method has been used to study spin dynamics of RE ions in (Y/sub 1-x/RE/sub x/)Rh/sub 4/B/sub 4/. Longitudinal dipolar fluctuations of RE moments are found to be the main source of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time of /sup 11/B. The variation of T/sub 1/ in the superconducting state is attributed to the reduction of the electronic spin-relaxation time, tau/sub m/, which is mainly determined by the RKKY type interaction mediated by the conduction electrons. 3 figures.
