Abstract
We have measured the dynamic susceptibility of polycrystalline rhodium foils down to 280 pK and up to -750 pK. These record-low and -high nuclear spin temperatures were reached by adiabatic demagnetization using initial polarizations of 83 and -60%. At T>0, the static susceptibility, integrated from NMR spectra, displays an antiferromagnetic Curie-Weiss law, with θ=-1.8±0.3 nK. At T<0, a crossover from ferro- to antiferromagnetic tendency is found around -6 nK. We obtain Jnn/h=-17±3 Hz and Jnnn/h=10±3 Hz if only nearest and next nearest neighbor interactions are assumed.Description
