Direct observation of the freezing-in of the spin-lattice relaxation of the electrons in small metallic particles
Talanov Yu. I., Cherkasov F. G., Chernov S. F., Kharakhash'yan E. G.
The results of the first experimental studies by the spin-echo method of the spin-lattice relaxation of electrons in small metallic particles (Li, Na, K, Mg, and Ag) are presented. The spin relaxation in the particles is found to be much slower than in the bulk metal.
