Rare-earth solid-state NMR spectroscopy of intermetallic compounds: The case of the $^{175}$Lu isotope
Published in Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, 2019
This study explores when lutetium-175 NMR can resolve local environments in cubic intermetallic compounds. Measurements at different magnetic fields show that even small departures from structural order can broaden the signal beyond detection. The work identifies suitable model compounds and practical limits for using this sensitive quadrupolar probe.
