27Al nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of Ce3Al11 at low temperatures

We have measured the 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR, spectra of oriented powder of the intermetallic compound Ce3Al11 at temperatures between 0.03 K and 20 K, and frequencies of 2.815 MHz, 3.925 MHz, 9.208 MHz and 74.81 MHz. In the paramagnetic state the NMR spectra show the quadrupolar-split contribution of the four inequivalent Al-sites with strongly temperature-dependent Knigth shifts. The NMR spectra indicate the onset of a ferromagnetic phase below 6.2 K transforming into a sinusoidally modulated antiferromagnetic state below 3.3 K. (orig.)
