Description

The spin-lattice relaxation time T₁ of Eu¹⁵³ in powder EuO was measured at temperatures from 1.7 to 20 K and external fields above magnetic saturation from 24 to 60 kOe. The results were analyzed using the multimagnon scattering theory previously proposed by Beeman and Pincus. The observed relaxation rates are well explained by the dipolar-induced two-magnon process and exchange-scattering-enhanced three-magnon process. It is found that the first is dominant at low temperatures (T<14 K) and the second at higher temperatures.
