Ti NMR Study of the Nearly Ferromagnetic System TiBe2

NMR data on Ti${\mathrm{Be}}_2$ have been taken from 1.3 to 270 K in magnetic fields up to 60 kG. The linear dependence of the Knight shift and the NMR linewidth with $\chi =\frac{M}{H}$ show that the increase of $\chi$ versus applied field at low temperatures is due to a homogeneous property of the electron gas. The $d$-electron contribution to the spin-lattice relaxation rate is found to scale linearly with $\chi T$ in a wide temperature range spanning the spin-fluctuation temperature.
