8Li magnetic dipole moment

Polarized ⁸Li nuclei recoiling from the reaction ⁷Li(d, p)⁸Li were implanted in Au, Pd, and Pt foils, and the Knight-shifted values of the ⁸Li magnetic dipole moment in these metals were measured by a resonant depolarization technique. From measurements of the spinlattice relaxation times of ⁸Li implanted in Au, Pd, and Pt, the Knight shifts of ⁸Li in these metals were estimated. A corrected value for the magnetic dipole moment of ⁸Li was found to be $\mu {(}^{8}Li)=(1.65335\pm 0.00035){\mu }_N$. Attempts were also made to measure the quadrupole couplings of ⁸Li in single crystals of Be and Mg. While the resonance lines could not be distinctly resolved, upper and lower limits have been deduced for $\left|\frac{e^{2}qQ}{h}\right|$ in these two metals.
