Abstract
Results are reported for high frequency pulsed NMR studies of 3He adsorbed on hexagonal boron nitride. The commensurate coverage, corresponding to a 0.75 fraction of a monolayer was studied. The temperature dependence of the nuclear spin-spin relaxation time was measured in the range of 0.1-2 K. From the relaxation times, the quantum mechanical exchange rates are calculated for a triangular array of 3He atoms.
