Abstract:
The magnetically ordered phase of the CuCrO<sub>2</sub> single crystal has been studied by the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method on <sup>53</sup>Cr nuclei in the absence of an external magnetic field. The <sup>53</sup>Cr NMR spectrum is observed in the frequency range ν<sub>res</sub> = 61-66 MHz. The shape of the spectrum depends on the delay tdel between pulses in the pulse sequence τ<sub>π/2</sub>-<em class="EmphasisTypeItalic ">t</em> <sub>del-</sub>τ<sub>π</sub>-<em class="EmphasisTypeItalic ">t</em> <sub>del</sub>-echo. The spin-spin and spin-lattice relaxation times have been measured. Components of the electric field gradient, hyperfine fields, and the magnetic moment on chromium atoms have been estimated.
