Fundamentals of β-NMR and its New Developments in Materials Science Studies

Abstract

The β -NMR technique and its application to the study of materials science are introduced. Using some different types of accelerator facility, β -NMR probe nuclei for various elements are useful as a beam with wide energy range, which enables us to select an implantation depth into a sample from surface to bulk. Our recent β -NMR studies on 8 Li in Li ion conductor material Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 and 12 N in H 2 O are presented.
