Abstract
The diffusion-induced spin-lattice relaxation (SLR) in a high-purity lithium single crystal has been studied with β-radiation-detected NMR (β-NMR) using the probe 8Li (T1/2 = 0.8 s). The SLR rate has been measured between 225 K and 440 K in magnetic fields corresponding to frequencies between 52 kHz and 11 MHz. The data are analysed in terms of a random walk on a bcc lattice. For the activation enthalpy of self-diffusion, HSD, the value 0.57(1) eV is obtained in agreement with a previous β-NMR study of polycrystalline lithium. Comparison with literature values for the migration enthalpy of monovacancies and the most recent ab-initio pseudopotential calculations for the formation enthalpy, which give H F = 0.52 eV, indicates that this is compatible with single vacancies being the main vehicles of self-diffusion in Li.
