139La-NMR and the metal-nonmetal transition of lanthanum hydrides — •Sandra Heck, Stephan Leyer, and Elmar Dormann — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Karlsruhe (TH), D-76128 Karlsruhe, Germany
139La Knight shift data [1] seemed in conflict with the disappearance of the conduction electron density of states deduced from specific heat measurements [2] for increasing hydrogen content in LaHx (2≤x≤3) [3,4]. New data for Pauli susceptibility, 139 NMR line-width, line-shift and spin-lattice-relaxation are derived. Reliability of the LaCl3 in aqueous solution Knight shift standard is questioned.
A conclusive picture based on NMR is presented.
