Paramagnetic impurity effects in NMR determinations of hydrogen diffusion and electronic structure in metal hydrides

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7026036
A preliminary survey was conducted of the effects on the proton spin-lattice relaxation time T/sub 1/ resulting from the presence of controlled low levels of the Kramers ions Ce, Nd, Gd, Dy, and Er in YH/sub 2/ and LaH/sub 2.25/. This report presents the results for the case of Ce/sup 3 +/. The Ce ion behaves most differently from Gd/sup 3 +/, apparently because it is an extremely fast relaxing ion and because it has the smallest magnetic moment of all the rare-earths.
