Dynamical shift of NMR lines in nanostructured Ga–In–Sn melt

NMR spectrum and recovery of longitudinal nuclear magnetization after inverting pulses were measured for isotopes 69Ga and 71Ga in a liquid eutectic alloy Ga–In–Sn introduced in porous glasses having pores with the sizes of 25 and 7 nm. The measurements were conducted in the fields of 9.4, 11.7, and 17.6 T and compared with those for the bulk melt sample. Differences between the shape and position of the NMR lines in various fields and for different gallium isotopes were revealed in the melt introduced into the porous glass with the pores size of 7 nm. Data obtained for this sample were interpreted based on the theoretical model of dynamic quadrupolar shift, and correlation time of atomic motion was found within this model. Characteristics of the atomic motion calculated based on the dynamic shift model and from the spin relaxation data were shown to agree with each other.
