We calculate the dependence of the nuclear magnetic moments on the quark masses, including the spin-spin interaction effects, and obtain limits on the variation of the fine structure constant {alpha} and (m{sub q}/{lambda}{sub QCD}) using recent atomic clock experiments examining hyperfine transitions in H, Rb, Cs, Yb{sup +}, and Hg{sup +} and the optical transition in H, Hg{sup +}, and Yb{sup +}.
