For LaHx with hydrogen concentration x
close above
the metal-non-metal transition (i.e. 2.87 ≤ x ≤ 2.89) the
influence of Ce and Gd impurities on the low-temperature proton
spin-lattice relaxation [1] is analysed. The Ce concentration is also
studied by static magnetic susceptibility measurements. Thus the
influence
of the temperature dependent Ce electron spin dynamics on the
proton
spin-lattice relaxation can be compared quantitatively with the
predictions of earlier established models [2]. These results are
discussed
in relation to the density of states derived from 139La nuclear
magnetic resonance in LaHx (2 ≤ x ≤ 3).
