The second moment M2 of the proton NMR spectrum and the time constant TSD of the magnetization transfer between the protons of the A and T symmetry species of NH4+ ions were measured as functions of crystal orientation and temperature down to 4.5 K in (NH4)2ZnCl4. M2 increases in two steps with decreasing temperature and shows, between the steps, a strong dependence on orientation. TSD has a maximum of 3 ms at 12 K. The TSD data and earlier results on T1D, the spin-lattice relaxation time of the dipolar energy, are compared with a model. The results are explained by the presence of two kinds of ammonium sites in this compound. |
