Korringa ratio of ferromagnetically correlated impure metals
Abstract
The Korringa ratio, , obtained by taking an appropriate combination of the Knight shift and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time, is calculated at finite temperature, , in the three-dimensional electron gas model, including the electron-electron interaction, , and non-magnetic impurity scatterings. varies in a simple way with respect to and ; it decreases as is increased but increases as is raised. However, varies in a slightly more complicated way with respect to the impurity scatterings; as the scattering rate is increased, increases for small and low , but decreases for large or high regime. This calls for a more careful analysis when one attempts to estimate the Stoner factor from .
