Abstract
The magnetic dipole interaction of the 57 keV state of143Pr in an environment of metallic cerium and in an aqueous solution of Ce(NO3)3 has been investigated by time-differential perturbed angular correlation experiments. The measurements were performed in external magnetic fields between 0.94 T and 2.24 T and at temperatures between 77 K and 1200 K. From the temperature dependence of the observed spin rotation the ionicity of the Pr ion is determined as Pr4+ in the Ce(NO3)3 and as Pr3+ in Ce metal in the intermediate nuclear state. The magnetic dipole moment of the 57 keV state is derived as μ = +(3.4±0.1)μK. From the room temperature relaxation constants α2 = (0.19±0.03)109s−1 for Ce(NO3)3 and α2= (0.07±0.02)109s−1 for Ce metal the correlation times τ J = (3.8±0.7)10−13s and τ J = (1.4±0.4)10−13s respectively are deduced. The angular correlation coefficientA 2=+0.17±0.02 is in good agreement with the result of a decoupling experiment.
