NMR Study of a Localized Moment:V51NMR in Dilute Gold-Vanadium Alloys

Abstract
We report the first observation of the NMR of a localized magnetic moment in a metal at temperatures far below its Kondo temperature. The system studied is dilute solid solutions of vanadium (0.1-10 at.%) in gold. We detect the partially spin-compensated d-spin magnetization of the impurities for the lowest concentration, and evidence for interaction between the impurities at higher concentrations.
