Nuclear spin-electron coupling of copper at microkelvin temperatures

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The nuclear spin-electron coupling of copper has been determined by establishing stationary temperature differences between nuclei and electrons at electronic temperatures of 15 μK to 5 mK in magnetic fields of 2 mT to 440 mT using a well-defined heat flow from the electrons to the nuclear spin system. The measured Korringa constantk increases proportional toB/T 2e with decreasing electronic temperatureT e and with increasing magnetic fieldB. At the lowest temperaturesk is more than an order of magnitude larger than its high temperature value.
