Magnetic Coupling betweenHe3andF19at Low Temperatures

Abstract
Measurements of relaxation phenomena between liquid He3 and F19 nuclei in small fluorocarbon particles are reported. Magnetic cross relaxation between the F19 in the substrate and the liquid is observed in measurements between 1 K and 0.6 mK. The spin temperatures remain strongly coupled in magnetic fields up to 125 mT. Moreover it is observed that there is a decrease in magnetic relaxation time at the onset of superfluidity in the liquid He3 and that the thermal relaxation times are remarkably short at all temperatures.
