Description

Measurements of relaxation phenomena between liquid 3He and 19F nuclei in small fluorocarbon particles are reported. Magnetic cross relaxation between the 19F in the substrate and the liquid is observed in measurements between 1 K and 0.6 mK. The spin temperatures remain strongly coupled in magnetic fields up to 125 mT. Moreover it is observed that there is a decrease in magnetic relaxation time at the onset of superfluidity in the liquid 3He and that the thermal relaxation times are remarkably short at all temperatures
