Critical spin fluctuations in EuO

Abstract
Zero-field electron-spin resonance was used to measure the spin-relaxation time above Tc in the isotropic ferromagnet EuO. These measurements show an asymptotic behavior in the reduced temperature region t<~0.02. The dynamic exponent z was determined for this asymptotic region to be z=2.04(7). Longitudinal relaxation measurements of the kinetic coefficient in EuO of Kötzler et al. [Solid State Commun. 26, 641 (1978)] have been reanalyzed and provide an exponent z=1.93(10) in the asymptotic region. Both values of z agree with theoretical predictions for a dipolar dominated region in κq space.
