Combined Asymmetric Knight Shift and Quadrupole Effects in the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrum of ScMn₂

Abstract

Measurements of the Knight shift and quadrupole coupling parameters of the ⁴⁵Sc and ⁵⁵Mn nuclear magnetic resonances are reported for the hexagonal Laves phase compound ScMn₂. This spectrum furnishes an example in which combined Knight shift and quadrupole interactions of less-than-axial symmetry occur.
