Abstract

The absence in amorphous materials of long range periodic order, and hence of many of the selection rules present in crystalline materials, makes the interpretation of x-ray, neutron or electron scattering experiments much more difficult. Information concerning the static and dynamic properties of these materials must therefore be extracted using many different experimental techniques. One technique which has proven quite useful is magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

  37. Paramagnetic impurities are known to exist in vitreous As2S3 and could relax the nuclear spins. Magnetic susceptability measurements (J. DiSalvo, A. Menth, J. V. Waszczak and J. Taue, Phys. Rev. B6, 4574 (1972))indicate that the paramagnetic impurities in As2S3 effective at low temperatures are Fe3+ ions in concentrations of n ~10-6. Since relaxation times for Fe 3+ ions at low temperature are typically Tc ~ 10-5 sec, the concentration of Fe3+ ions is about four orders of magnitude too small to account for the observed average relaxation rates.
