77Se-NMR spectrum and frequency shift measurements in the paramagnetic metal and antiferromagnetic insulating phases are reported for a small single crystal of the organic conductor -(BETS)2FeCl4 as a function of temperature (T) and field alignment for an applied magnetic field B0=9 T. The results show that in the low T limit, where the localized Fe3+ spins (Sd=5/2) are almost fully polarized, the conduction electrons (Se electrons, spin s=1/2) in the BETS molecules experience an exchange field (Bd) from the Fe3+ spins with a value of −32.7±1.5 T at 5 K and 9 T aligned opposite to B0. This large negative value of Bd is consistent with that predicted by the resistivity measurements and supports the Jaccarino-Peter internal field-compensation mechanism being responsible for the origin of field-induced superconductivity.

We investigate analytically and numerically the multiple-quantum (MQ) NMR dynamics in systems of nuclear spins 1/2 coupled by the dipole-dipole interactions in the case of the dipolar ordered initial state. We suggest two different methods of MQ NMR. One of them is based on the measurement of the dipolar temperature in the quasiequilibrium state which is established after the time of order (loc is the dipolar local field) after the MQ NMR experiment. The other method uses an additional resonance (/4)y pulse after the preparation period of the standard MQ NMR experiment in solids. Many-spin clusters and correlations are created faster in such experiments than in the usual MQ NMR experiments and can be used for the investigation of many-spin dynamics of nuclear spins in solids.

We report NMR studies on a single crystal of NpFeGa5, which has the tetragonal HoCoGa5(115) structure and exhibits two antiferromagnetically ordered states. In the antiferromagnetic I phase below 118 K, the observed internal field at the Ga(2) (4i) site is consistent with the ordered structure revealed by neutron diffraction measurements. Below 78 K in the antiferromagnetic II phase, two different Ga(2) sites with different electric field gradient tensors appear, which indicates an orbitally related ordering. A possible quadrupolar ordering in the antiferromagnetic II phase is discussed.
