Title Evidence for elastic disorder in the elastically ordered phase of KCN
Date 1981
Description We have obtained evidence from 1 3C NMR measurements that the CN~ ion in the elastically ordered phase of KCN is misoriented slightly with respect to the orthorhombic b axis. This misorientation varies randomly over the lattice, averaging to zero on a macroscopic scale. The misorientations are manifested through small-angle CN" reorientations which contribute to the spin-lattice relaxation time Tx of the °C nuclei, via dipolar interactions and chemical shift anisotropy.
