Pick-up coil as a tool of measuring spin-lattice relaxation under electron spin resonance condition at high magnetic fields

Abstract
A new method of measuring the spin-lattice relaxation time in solids under far-infrared electron spin resonance condition is presented. The method is illustrated on Cd1−xMnxTe mixed crystals where the magnetization is due to the Mn2+ spins. The temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation time is studied for a composition of x=0.005.
