Popis: The 6,7 Li and 31 P NMR spectra and the 7 LI, 31 P spin-lattice relaxation, as well as electrical conductivity and thermal properties have been studied for powder samples of the Li 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 superionic conductor over a wide temperature range. The quadrupole splitting parameters of the 7 Li NMR spectra and the 7 Li spin-lattice relaxation rate, T 1 −1 , are changed abruptly in the vicinity of phase transition at ⋍530 K. In the high-temperature range the 31 P spin-lattice relaxation rate is controlled by a translation motion of lithium ions, while in the low-temperature range it is controlled by a spin diffusion to paramagnetic impurities. A “frozen” EFG model is suggested, which allows to explain a quadrupole structure observed for the 7 Li NMR spectra under fast motion of lithium ions over structurally equivalent sites. The 7 Li 7 Li dipolar relaxation mechanism at a distance close to the sum of the radii of two lithium ions is used to explain T 1 −1 values of 7 Li. Three types of lithium ion motion are defined and the corresponding activation energy values have been determined. Anomalous temperature behavior of the 7 Li NMR spectra intensity that does not follow the Curie law have been found. Lack of a qualitative agreement between the X-ray data and the parameters of the 7 Li NMR spectra observed is discussed.
