Popis: Nuclear magnetic resonance of 59 Co in a metallic thiospinel compound CoCo 2 S 4 was carried out at 75 MHz in a temperature range between 1.4 and 260 K to study the properties of the low frequency spin dynamics at the tetrahedral A and the octahedral B sites. From the combination of the 59 Co Knight shift, spin-lattice relaxation rate and susceptibility measurements, it is concluded that the stoichiometric CoCo 2 S 4 belongs to a group of weakly antiferromagnetic metals with the Neel temperature of ≃55 K. The magnetic properties of Cu substituted compounds (Co 1- x Cu x )Co 2 S 4 were also studied. The results exhibited that the light substitution lowers the Neel temperature and the heavy substitution leads the compound to a nearly Pauli paramagnetic metal.
