Item Open Access Proton relaxation in the superconducting organic solid (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2: evidence for relaxation by localized paramagnetic centers(1990) Klutz, Thomas; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Schweitzer, DieterThe nonexponential character of the build-up of the nuclear magnetization usually increases on lowering the temperature. Superconducting fluctuations have been offered in a speculative way as an explanation for the nonexponential spin relaxation. We have observed the same relaxation behaviour in our investigation of the proton spin relaxation in (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 which is an organic conductor at room temperature and becomes a superconductor at Tc=10.4 K at ambient pressure. As we noticed during preliminary measurements that the degree of deviation from exponential relaxation depends on the sample under study we decided to do experiments under controlled conditions of sample preparation.Item Open Access Proton spin-lattice relaxation in the organic superconductor (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 : evidence for relaxation by localized paramagnetic centres(1990) Klutz, Thomas; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Schweitzer, DieterThe spin-lattice relaxation of the protons in the compound was investigated at nu L=13.5 MHz and 270 MHz for 4.2 K10 K and becomes non-exponential for T<10 K. At nu L=13.5 MHz the transition from exponential to noticeably non-exponential relaxation occurs already at T approximately=25 K. The cause for the non-exponential proton relaxation in the coarse grains is finite penetration of the RF-field (skin-effect) into the electrically conducting crystals. Powdering the crystals suppresses the skin-effect; this procedure, however, generates relaxation sinks in the form of localized paramagnetic centres. There is reason to believe that the skin-effect in coarse grains and generation of relaxation sinks by a powdering procedure complicate proton relaxation studies as well in other organic superconductors.Item Open Access Knight shift tensors and π-spin densities in the organic metals αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 and (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2(1991) Klutz, Thomas; Hennig, Ingolf; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Schweitzer, Dieter13C-MASS spectra of pure BEDT-TTF and of the organic metals αt-(BEDT-TTF) 2I 3 and (BEDT-TTF) 2Cu(NCS)2 were recorded at νL - 68 MHz. Isotropic shifts and the principal components of the shift tensors were determined, respectively, from the center and spinning side bands. For pure BEDT-TTF which is a diamagnetic insolator, the measured shifts are chemica/ shifts, while for the organic metals they are the sum of chemical and Knight shifts. In each of the compounds the shifts are assigned in groups to the inner, middle and outer carbons of the BEDT-TTF molecule. For the organic metals the separation of the experimental shifts into chemical and Knight shifts is discussed. From the anisotropic part of the Knight shift tensors the π-spin densities at the carbon and sulphur positions of the BEDT-TTF molecule are inferred. The result is that the π-spin density of the unpaired hole is concentrated on the center part of the BEDT-TTF molecuIe, i.e. on the inner and middle carbons, and on the inner sulphurs. It is argued that the current density is concentrated on this part of the BEDT-TTF molecule as well.Item Open Access Nuclear magnetic shielding tensors for 1H, 13C, and 15N in organic solids(1975) Spiess, Hans Wolfgang; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Kempf, Jürgen; Schweitzer, DieterA survey will be given of nuclear magnetic shielding tensors obtained by multiple pulse techniques for 1H in carboxylic acids and by high field NMR for 13C in carbonyl- and carboxyl groups of aromatic compounds and for 15N in pyridine and nitrobenzene.Item Open Access 13C nuclear magnetic relaxation studies at 62 MHz(1971) Jaeckle, H.; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Schweitzer, DieterAn apparatus suitable to measure 13C relaxation times T1 and T2 in liquids at 62 MHz is described. The required field of 58 kG is generated by a superconducting magnet. Results of T1 measurements on a variety of liquids, including benzene, derivatives of benzene, saturated rings, CS2, and others are reported. They are discussed in terms of dipole-dipole interactions, spin-rotation interactions and anisotropic chemical shifts, the latter of which turn out to play only a minor role. Intramolecular dipole-dipole interactions are found to provide by far the most important spin-lattice relaxation mechanism, whenever protons are bound directly to the carbons under investigation, even when the samples contain dissolved oxygen.Item Open Access NMR study of the quasi one dimensional organic metal (perylene)2(AsF6)0,75(PF6)0,35x0,85CH2Cl2(1987) Wieland, Jürgen; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Schweitzer, Dieter; Keller, Heimo J.Measurements of the temperature and frequency dependences of the proton spin lattice relaxation rate and of the proton and carbon Knight shifts in the title compound are presented. The results are interpreted in terms of a quasi-one dimensional microscopic conduction electron mobility and of the local unpaired spin densities at the carbon sites of the perylene donor molecules.Item Open Access A stable superconducting state at 8K and ambient pressure in αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3(1987) Schweitzer, Dieter; Bele, Petra; Brunner, Hermann; Gogu, Emil; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Hennig, Ingolf; Klutz, Thomas; Swietlik, Roman; Keller, Heimo J.We report bulk superconductivity at 8 K and ambient pressure in crystals of α t (BEDT-TTF)2I3. In contrast to the earlier observed metastable superconducting state at 8 K in crystals of β-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 here the superconducting state is stable and the crystals can be prepared by tempering α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 above 70 °C for several days. ac-susceptibility measurements show that the observed superconducting state at 8 K is a bulk property of the crystals. Resistivity measurements indicate a sharp superconducting transition at 8 K with an onset temperature of about 9 K. The upper critical fields Hc2 at 1.3 K lie between 3 and 11 T depending on the direction of the magnetic field with respect to the crystal axes. ESR- as well as NMR-measurements indicate a total transformation of the α-phase crystals into the new superconducting α t -crystals after tempering.Item Open Access Spin rotation interaction and anisotropic chemical shift in 13CS2(1971) Spiess, Hans Wolfgang; Schweitzer, Dieter; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Hausser, Karl H.The 13C nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time T1 was studied in liquid CS2 from -106°C to +35°C at resonance frequencies of 14, 30, and 62 MHz. The relaxation is caused by anisotropic chemical shift and spin-rotation interaction. It is shown that for linear molecules the spin-rotation constant C and the anisotropy of the chemical shift Δσ can be obtained from the relaxation rates without use of adjustable parameters. The analysis yields: C = -13.8 ± 1.4 kHz and Δσ = 438 ± 44 ppm.Item Unknown Proton relaxation in the organic superconductor (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2(1991) Klutz, Thomas; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Schweitzer, Dieter; Keller, Heimo J.The origin of the nonexponentiallity of the proton spin-lattice relaxation in the organic superconductor (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 is clarified. In fine powders the nonexponentiallity results from localized paramagnetic centers whose concentration is nonuniform over the powder sample. In coarse grains at low temperatures it is due to finite penetration of the rf-field into the conducting grains.Item Unknown NMR investigations of the organic metals and superconductors α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3, β-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 and α t-(BEDT-TTF)2I3(1988) Hennig, Ingolf; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Heinen, Ilsabe; Schweitzer, Dieter; Keller, Heimo J.1H and 13C spin lattice relaxation rates as well as 13C Knight shifts of the quasi two dimensional organic metals α-, β- and αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 are reported. In β- and αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 at temperatures below 100 K the Korringa relation is fulfilled. Near the critical temperature of 8K of the stable superconducting state of αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 an enhancement of the proton spin lattice relaxation rate due to superconducting fluctuations is observed. The observed individual 13C Knight shifts, as measured by magic angle sample spinning and cross polarisation methods range between -6 and +244 ppm for α- phase and -10 and +125 ppm for β- and αt- phase crystals.
