59Co nuclear magnetic resonance in antiferromagnetic CsCoCl3

The ⁵⁹Co NMR in a CsCoCl₃ single crystal has been observed by the spin echo method at 4.2 K. The obtained spectrum is composed of seven distinct lines split by the nuclear-quadrupole interaction. The frequency of the central (± $\text{1}\text{2}$ ? ± $\text{1}\text{2}$) transition 502.08±0.05 MHz corresponds to the hyperfine field of 499.38 ± 0.05 kOe, which agrees well with the calculated value. Due to the interaction of the nucleus with the electronic moment induced by the external field, a shift as large as 18% was observed for the nuclear g-factor.
