Spin-Spin Interactions and Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation in Magnetic Solids

The influence of the orientational fluctuations of the electronic magnetization, which modulate nuclear spin-spin interactions (Suhl-Nakamura and dipole-dipole), on the spin-lattice relaxation of magnetic nuclei with spin I = 1/2 in the magnetically ordered solids has been investigated. It has been shown that this mechanism of the spin-lattice relaxation is less effective in comparison with the process of spin-lattice relaxation caused by the direct fluctuations of hyperfine fields, which appear when there are the fluctuations of electronic magnetization direction.
