Popis: 69 Ga nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) line shift ( 69 K) and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate ( 69 T 1 -1 ) are measured for Pu 0.95 Ga 0.05 alloy, stabilized in δ-phase, in the temperature range 10 and 650K at magnetic field of 9.4 T. The shift and 69 T 1 -1 are determined correspondingly by the static and fluctuating-in-time parts of the local magnetic fields arisen at Ga due to transferred hyperfine coupling with the nearest f electron environment of more magnetic Pu. At T> 200 K, the temperature dependent part of the shift 69 K(T) scales macroscopic magnetic susceptibility Χ(T), following the Curie-Weiss law, and the product ( 69 T 1 T) increases with temperature proportionally (T+ 255) 1.5(1) . Both of the NMR observations are typical of the incoherent spin fluctuation regime of electrons in nonmagnetic 3D Kondo lattice. An estimate of the effective magnetic moment μ eff,5f (g e = 2) = 0.15(5)μ B per Pu atom points out a strong suppression of the spin magnetism in the alloy.
