A study of the nuclear magnetic resonance of isotope Fe57 in hematite

The results of studying the nuclear magnetic resonance of isotope Fe⁵⁷ in weak ferromagnetic hematite -Fe₂O₃ for different types of samples are presented. Measurements of the temperature dependence of the nuclear magnetic resonance frequency in the range of 250–820°K, as well as the dependence of the signal intensity on temperature, the orientation and intensity of the static and h.f. field were carried out. The interpretation of the experimental results is based on the assumption that the signal originates from the nuclei inside the domain walls. The abnormally high value of the enhancement factor of the h.f. field is explained by the closeness of the nuclear magnetic resonance frequency and the resonance frequency of the domain walls.In conclusion the author expresses his thanks to Prof. J. Bro for his valuable advice and comments when preparing this paper; to Prof. R. Rost, Dr. Z Hauptman and M. Vichr for providing the samples; to Dr. V. Houdek for measuring the Néel temperature and to J. Pavlíek for substantial help in the measurements
