Applying the method of beta -radiation detected nuclear magnetic resonance/relaxation ( beta -NMR) to 8Li nuclei in 7Li3N single crystals comprehensive information on static and dynamic properties was obtained. Below T approximately=200 K the electric field gradients (EFG) at the two inequivalent Li lattice sites (Li(1), Li(2)) were determined. The spin-lattice relaxation (SLR) behavior above T approximately=300 K and the 8Li NMR signals in the extreme narrowing regime (T>or=500 K) could be attributed to interlayer diffusion involving Li+ jumps between Li(1) and Li(2) lattice sites ((1 to or from 2) jumps). In the temperature range 200 K
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
