Anisotropy of the hyperfine interaction in magnetite
Abstract
This paper describes effects of anisotropy of the hyperfine interaction on nuclear magnetic resonance in a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material. It is shown how the line shape in a polycrystalline sample depends on whether the excitation is through domains or domain walls. The absorption spectrum of Fe57 in powdered magnetite (Fe3O4) is observed, and the results show that, in this case, the excitation is predominantly through domains. They also establish a value for the hyperfine anisotropy on octahedral sites. © 1962 The American Institute of Physics.
