Description

NQR and μSR investigations of the local magnetic field in α-Bi2O3 were performed. In the NQR experiments on α-Bi2O3 which is usually considered as diamagnetic, the splitting of the spectral lines revealed a local field on the bismuth nuclei. The internal magnetic field obtained by μSR significantly exceeds the dipole field from Bi nuclear magnetic moments. A possible source of the local magnetic fields is partial covalent bonds in α-Bi2O3. (orig.)
