Abstract
Using low energy beta-detected nuclear magnetic resonance (β NMR), the Knight shift and spin-lattice relaxation rate of dilute 8 Li+ implanted into a 28 nm Pd film on a MgO substrate were studied as a function of temperature. The shift of the resonance is negative, but much smaller in magnitude than observed in two other much thicker samples. The corresponding spin-lattice relaxation rates are found to be linear with temperature T, but are roughly 50% slower than the rates measured in a Pd foil. Potential explanations are discussed.
