The solid echoes for both I = 1 and I = 2 nuclear spins from a two-pulse sequence are studied forp-D2 concentrations between 0.06 and 0.5 and for 0.06 < T < 1.5 K. The drop of the I = 1 echo amplitude from Curie's law reported earlier is confirmed and is discussed. The density matrix method, previously developed to describe the I = 1 echo properties in solid H2 as a function of various parameters, is applied to p-D2, and similarly accounts for most of the observations. An analysis of the I =2 echoes for o-D2 is carried out in similar fashion in the absence of a complete density matrix theory. Studies of the echo amplitude for the I = 1 and I = 2 spins versus r.f. pulse widths are reported and discussed. Various measurements associated with the echo decay as a function of the time Τ between the two r.f. pulses are described. They include the I = 2 echo maximum shift respective to that of I = 1, the echo amplitude ratio S (I = 1)/S(I =2), the intermodular nuclear interaction magnitude, the local inhomogeneous field distribution, and the absence of expected satellite echoes for I =2. A comparison is made with the results of a similar study on solid H2.
