Abstract

25Mg NMR spectra and nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation time T1 have been measured in polycrystalline MgB2 with a superconducting transition temperature Tc=39 K in zero magnetic field. From the first-order and second-order quadrupole perturbed NMR spectrum a quadrupole coupling frequency νQ=222.0(1.5) kHz is obtained. T1T=1090(50) sK and Knight shift Kc=242(4) ppm are temperature independent in the normal conducting phase. The 25Mg Korringa ratio equals to 0.95 which is very close to the ideal value of unity for s electrons. The comparison of the experimental νQ, T1T, and Kc with the corresponding values obtained by LDA calculations shows an excellent agreement for all three quantities.
