We report {beta} detected nuclear magnetic resonance ({beta}NMR) measurements of 8Li+ implanted into high purity Pt. The frequency of the 8Li {beta}NMR resonance and the spin-lattice relaxation rates 1/T1 were measured at temperatures ranging from 3 to 300 K. Remarkably, both the spin-lattice relaxation rate and the Knight shift K depend linearly on temperature T although the bulk susceptibility does not. K is found to scale with the Curie-Weiss dependence of the Pt susceptibility extrapolated to low temperatures. This is attributed to a defect response of the enhanced paramagnetism of Pt, i.e. the presence of the interstitial Li+ locally relieves the tendency for the Curie-Weiss susceptibility to saturate at low T . We propose that the low temperature saturation in c{hi} of Pt may be related to an interband coupling between the s and d bands that is disrupted locally by the presence of the Li+.

$beta$-NMR of isolated $^8$Li has been investigated in the normal state of 2H-NbSe$_2$. In a high magnetic field of 3T a single resonance is observed with a Gaussian line width of 3.5 kHz. The line shape varies weakly as function of magnetic field an d temperature but has a strong orientation dependence. The nuclear electric quadrupole splitting is unresolved implying that the electric field gradients are 10-100 times smaller than in other non-cubic crystals. The nuclear spin relaxation rate is also anomalously small but varies linearly with temperature as expected for Korringa relaxation in a metal. These results suggest that Li adopts an interstitial position between the weakly coupled NbSe$_2$ layers and away from the conduction band.
We report $beta$-detected NMR of ion-implanted $^{8}$Li in a single crystal and thin film of the strongly correlated metal LaNiO$_{3}$. In both samples, spin-lattice relaxation measurements reveal two distinct local metallic environments, as is evide nt from $T$-linear Korringa $1/T_{1}$ below 200 K with slopes comparable to other metals. A small, approximately temperature independent Knight shift of $sim 74$ ppm is observed, yielding a normalized Korringa product characteristic of substantial antiferromagnetic correlations, but, we find no evidence for a magnetic transition from 4 to 310 K. Two distinct, equally abundant $^{8}$Li sites is inconsistent with the widely accepted rhombohedral structure of LaNiO$_{3}$, but cannot be simply explained by either of the common alternative orthorhombic or monoclinic distortions.
Using ion-implanted $^8$Li $beta$-detected NMR, we study the evolution of the correlated metallic state of LaNiO$_3$ in a series of LaNiO$_3$/LaAlO$_3$ superlattices as a function of bilayer thickness. Spin-lattice relaxation measurements in an appli ed field of 6.55 T reveal two equal amplitude components: one with metallic ($T$-linear) $1/T_{1}$, and a second with a more complex $T$-dependence. The metallic character of the slow relaxing component is only weakly affected by the LaNiO$_3$ thickness, while the fast component is much more sensitive, exhibiting the opposite temperature dependence (increasing towards low $T$) in the thinnest, most magnetic samples. The origin of this bipartite relaxation is discussed.
We report measurements of the dynamics of isolated $^{8}$Li$^{+}$ in single crystal rutile TiO$_{2}$ using $beta$-detected NMR. From spin-lattice relaxation and motional narrowing, we find two sets of thermally activated dynamics: one below 100 K; an d one at higher temperatures. At low temperature, the activation barrier is $26.8(6)$ meV with prefactor $1.23(5) times 10^{10}$ s$^{-1}$. We suggest this is unrelated to Li$^{+}$ motion, and rather is a consequence of electron polarons in the vicinity of the implanted $^{8}$Li$^{+}$ that are known to become mobile in this temperature range. Above 100 K, Li$^{+}$ undergoes long-range diffusion as an isolated uncomplexed cation, characterized by an activation energy and prefactor of $0.32(2)$ eV and $1.0(5) times 10^{16}$ s$^{-1}$, in agreement with macroscopic diffusion measurements. These results in the dilute limit from a microscopic probe indicate that Li$^{+}$ concentration does not limit the diffusivity even up to high concentrations, but that some key ingredient is missing in the calculations of the migration barrier. The anomalous prefactors provide further insight into both Li$^{+}$ and polaron motion.

Detailed magnetization, specific heat, and $^7$Li nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on single crystals of the hyperhoneycomb Kitaev magnet $beta$-Li$_2$IrO$_3$ are reported. At high temperatures, {cred anisotropy of the magnetization is r eflected by the different Curie-Weiss temperatures for different field directions}, in agreement with the combination of a ferromagnetic Kitaev interaction ($K$) and a negative off-diagonal anisotropy ($Gamma$) as two leading terms in the spin Hamiltonian. At low temperatures, magnetic fields applied along $a$ or $c$ have only a weak effect on the system and reduce the Neel temperature from 38 K at 0 T to about 35.5 K at 14 T, with no field-induced transitions observed up to 58 T on a powder sample. In contrast, the field applied along $b$ causes a drastic reduction in the $T_N$ that vanishes around $H_c=2.8$ T giving way to a crossover toward a quantum paramagnetic state. $^7$Li NMR measurements in this field-induced state reveal a gradual line broadening and a continuous evolution of the line shift with temperature, suggesting the development of local magnetic fields. The spin-lattice relaxation rate shows a peak around the crossover temperature 40 K and follows power-law behavior below this temperature.
