Abstract
The spin-lattice relaxation time, , of conduction electrons is measured as a function of temperature and magnetic field in in the normal and superconducting states. The method is based on the detection of the component of the conduction electron magnetization under electron-spin-resonance conditions with amplitude-modulated microwave excitation. Measurement of below at allows us to disentangle contributions from the two Fermi surfaces of , as this field restores the normal state on the part of the Fermi surface with symmetry only.
