Abstract

We have measured the AC magnetic susceptibility and static magnetization of high-density bcc solid 3 He through the nuclear-ordering transition. The susceptibility in the paramagnetic state strongly depends on the frequency of the measuring field. Near the transition temperature a sharp peak in the real part of the AC susceptibility and an abrupt depression in the imaginary part are observed. The transition temperature indicated by the AC susceptibility is higher than that derived from static magnetization. We analyzed the new behavior in the susceptibility in terms of the spin relaxation between the Zeeman system and the exchange system. The relaxation time τ in the energy flow in the two systems is in the range of milliseconds in the paramagnetic state, and decreases drastically by two orders of magnitude in the ordered state. The relaxation time in the paramagnetic state is interpreted as due to exchange narrowing, while τ in the ordered state is explained to be the drift time of the spin wave limited by the size of the sample grown in the pores of the sintered silver. The ordering temperature is given as a function of molar volume in the entire range of the bcc phase.
