Stimulated 7Li echo NMR spectroscopy of slow ionic motions in a solid electrolyte
Abstract
Lithium spin-alignment spectroscopy is presented as an NMR technique for studying slow translational motions in solid and solid-like ionic conductors. We employ phase cycling that allows to measure two-time translational correlation functions via the generation of a pure quadrupolar ordered state. Correlation functions of the crystalline electrolyte Li 3Sc 2(PO 4) 3 were recorded for times ranging from about 0.1 ms to more than 10 s, implying that translational diffusion coefficients smaller than 10 -20 m 2/s become accessible.
