Hyperfine interaction of111Cd in antiferromagnetic cobalt oxide

The temperature dependence of the hyperfine field of substitutional¹¹¹Cd in antiferromagnetic CoO has been measured by means of the perturbed angular correlation technique. The Larmor frequency ω_L is found to obey a power law ω_L(t=ω₀ t ^β) up tot _max=0.4 wheret=1−T/T _N is the reduced temperature withT _N=291.2(3) K and β=0.393 (5) the critical exponent. The results are discussed and compared with PAC experiments on¹¹¹Cd in NiO and Ni and with results obtained by other methods.
