reported that in their pure single crystal sample the ratio of T1<br />

values'for the copper and bromine isotopes varied. However, this<br />

variation only really became apparent at liquid nitrogen temper-<br />

atures and below. The form of this behaviour was attributed to<br />

the different relative contributions to the overall spin-lattice<br />

relaxation times of optical phonons, which are not taken specific<br />

account of in the Debye model of the lattice phonon spectrum. The<br />

quadrupole moment ratios of the copper and bromine isotopes have<br />

been determined separately to a considerable degree of accuracy but<br />

there is some uncertainty in the absolute values of Q. Using the<br />

quoted values for 63Cu and 81Br respectively of -0.16 ± 0.03(84)<br />

and 0.28 ± 0.02(83) in units of 10 -28 m2 the ratio (Q/81Q2 is<br />

equal to 3.1 ± 1.6. The experimental value found over the measured<br />

temperature range was 4.0 ± 0.3, in reasonable agreement with the<br />

figure of 4.3 determined by Domngang and Wucher at the higher temper-<br />

atures of their range of measurements. The theoretical and experi-<br />

mental ratios agree to within the large error limits imposed by the
