The hyperfine field of Mn in hexagonal Co

Abstract
Using nuclear orientation at 15 mK the magnetic hyperfine field at 54Mn nuclei in dilute solution in HCP Co is measured as +97+or-7 kG. This is in dramatic contrast to the field on Mn in FCC Co of -358 kG (confirmed in this work). The result is discussed in terms of a change of sign of the local moment which, for Mn, halfway through the transition series, is particularly sensitive to the exact electronic structure of the host.
