Abstract

Magnetic resonance behavior of Sn0.98 Gd0. 02 Te has been investigated from 2.5 K down to 0.015 K using a SQUID magnetometer and a 3He-4He dilution refrigerator. Detection of magnetic resonance with a SQUID allows the detection of NMRan d EPR of some of the constituents of the sample. This method is particularly useful for broad lines. We have investigated the NMRfor 125Te, 119 Sn, and 117Sn, and the EPR for the Gd ion in a field of 265 Oe. The contribution of Gd impurities is maily important in the Knight shift of the Sn isotopes; this shift is 7%. The EPR shows 2 broad lines with structure; one line we attribute to the paramagnetic ions and the second one we attribute to Gd ions which have formed clusters.
