Abstract
We report a comparison of the spin-lattice relaxation rates for and in Pt and , in order to differentiate between magnetic and electric quadrupolar relaxation mechanisms. In Pt, the ratio of the spin relaxation rates was found to be 6.82(29), which is close to but less than the theoretical limit of for pure magnetic relaxation. In this ratio was found to be 2.7(3), which is close to but larger than the theoretical limit of expected for pure electric quadrupolar relaxation. These results bring insight into the nature of the fluctuations in the local environment of implanted observed by -NMR.
