Abstract
The first observation of pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance of oriented nuclei in an insulating magnetic material is reported. The system studied was the ordered antiferromagnet54Mn−MnCl2.4H2O. The response of the54Mn spins to a single pulse of variable length, the free induction decay, and Hahn spin-echo have all been observed. A discussion of the transverse decoherent relaxation timeT 2 in MnCl2.4H2O is given.
