Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a versatile tool also for the investigation of many-body dynamics in quantum mechanics. Here we report on preliminary measurements of free induction and solid echo decays of ¹⁹F spins (I = 1/2) in an isolated cubic lattice (CaF₂). In agreement with a recently developed generic theoretical description we find that the long-time decay of both solid echo and free induction decay (FID) is described by an exponentially decaying oscillatory function where exponential decay rate and frequency of oscillations are the same for both the FID and the solid echo and do not depend on the initial state of the spin system at the end of the pulse sequence. This behaviour supports the notion of eigenvalues of time evolution operators in chaotic many-body quantum systems.
