Abstract:
The spin kinetics of liquid
$^3$He in contact with a mixture of LaF
$_3$ (
$99.67\%$) and DyF
$_3$ (
$0.33\%$) micropowders at temperatures of
$1.5$–
$3$ K has been studied by pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The DyF
$_3$ is a dipolar dielectric ferromagnet with the phase transition temperature
$T_c= 2.55$ K, whereas the diamagnetic fluoride LaF
$_3$ is a diluting substance for the optimal observation conditions of
$^3$He NMR in powder pores. The magnetic phase transition in DyF
$_3$ is accompanied by a considerable change in the character of fluctuations of the magnetic moments of dysprosium ions, which affect the spin kinetics of
$^3$He in contact with the substrate. Significant changes in the relaxations rates of the longitudinal and transverse magnetizations of
$^3$He have been discovered in the region of magnetic ordering of the solid matrix. The technique of studying the static and fluctuating magnetic fields of a solid matrix at low temperatures using liquid
$^3$He as a probe has been proposed.
