Korb ¼ 1:59% is common among these ruthenates. The value of Acp is close
to Ahf % 30 T/"B in the FM state of SrRuO3 . A large negative K value of
Sr2 RuO4 indicates that its susceptibility is dominated by the d-electron spin
susceptibility (Fig. 5 in ref. 60).

Here, hiji represents nearest-neighbour pairs and J ij > 0 is the
exchange interaction. The antiferromagnetism is a consequence of
the positive value of J ij , which prefers an antiparallel alignment of
the spins. We will initially consider, in Section IIA the case of i on
the sites of a square lattice, and all J ij = J equal, but will generalize
in the subsequent sections to other lattices and further interactions
between the spins.

Notice that the whole 35 Cl NMR
line shape begins to tail-off toward lower frequencies
below #50 K. The resonance frequency of the sharp
c-axis central peak and its distribution depends on the
NMR Knight shift, 35 K, induced by !loc . Hence the observed line broadening implies that !loc varies depending
on the location within the sample below #50 K.

The most important
of the present results is that the
1.0Tpoint
(4.2MHz)
temperature dependence of T1−1 inner shows an obvious kink at
around 110
K and then shows a steep decrease on cooling, which
is essentially the same behavior as for the outer carbons. In the
low-temperature limit, T1−1 inner is proportional to the square 10 4
of the temperature, as is also observed in T1−1 outer . If these
behaviors were caused by the cation molecular motion, the two
relaxations should show different temperature dependencies.
This is because the inner-carbon relaxation is hardly affected
by the molecular motion, while the outer-carbon relaxation
is more readily affected. Therefore, the accordance between
the two relaxations
is very strong evidence that the observed
1
behaviors of the relaxation rates are not affected by the molecular motion of the cation but reflect the electron spin dynamics. 1000

In passing, we recall that earlier "SR Knight shift K"SR
measurements by Ofer et al. [10] showed identical behavior between K"SR and !bulk . They concluded that the upturn of !bulk below 50 K is not caused by impurity spins but
is a bulk phenomenon. Our new results in Fig. 3 do not
contradict these "SR data. K"SR was deduced by assuming
a Gaussian distribution of !local ; hence by default K"SR
represents the central value of the presumed Gaussian
distribution. That explains why K"SR shows behavior simi6
