Abstract

We have investigated the susceptibility and entropy in the thermally isolated system of silver nuclei down to 0.8 nK and, at negative temperatures, up to -4.3 nK. Low-frequency SQUID-NMR techniques were employed to measure the dynamic sysceptibility. Curie-Weiss behavior was observed for the static susceptibility both at T>0 and T<0; for FTHETA we deduce -4.4±1.0 nK. Our results show directly that antiferromagnetic nuclear alignment at positive temperatures transforms into ferromagnetic orientation at T<0 in the nuclear-spin system of silver, dominated by exchange interaction.
