摘要
We present pulse NMR measurements on He-3 adsorbed on hexagonal boron nitride powder in the registered phase. We observe strong coupled magnetic relaxation with substrate B-11 spins, mediated by N-14 surface-layer spins via the level-crossing or quadrupole-dip (QD) effect at 4.5 MHz. rib initio electronic structure calculations of the BN surface-layer electric field gradients, dramatically modified by the He-3 were essential in justifying our QD explanation. BN crystallite geometry plays a key role in producing the QD. Stretched exponential fits to the QD relaxation data may provide a new tool for studying specifically the commensurate phases on BN and related materials.
