Main results:

1/T1 does not peak at the resistive Metal-FISDW transition, but inside the FISDW phase. (Hebel-Slichter like? Theory needed.)

“Primitive model”, McKernan et al. SSC 145, 385(2008) appears relevant at “Bre”.

Sub-phases clearly seen in NMR. Improved nesting model for all phase transitions needed.

Below TMI, we find two sextets corresponding to Ms = 5/2 with slightly different Bhf values. The sextets merge below 3 K.

Assume the Fe3+ spin is in the presence of finite Hp-d and that the relaxation is relatively fast. The hyperfine field is:

Assume spin wave theory (with linear dispersion for AF order) describes the T-dependence of H-d:

Experimental and computed hyperfine field Bhf and derived H-d field.

Waerenborgh et al.arXiv:0909.1096

(PRB-submitted)

Main results of Mössbauer measurements:1. Paramagnetic state above TMI

2. Abrupt onset of Bhf below TMI.

3. Also paramagnetic below TMI, but now H-d is finite.

4. Bhf is temperature dependent, predicts that H-d is also temperature dependent, and reasonably described by AF spin-wave theory.

5. Two Fe sites with different Bhf values, with intensity ratio 2:1. Merge below 3 K. Q vector change?Mössbauer and CP appear to agree that Fe3+ spins do not have long range

AF order below TMI, even though the -spin system does.

A probe of the spin dynamics, field-dependent Cp, and Mössbauer studies would be useful. Also: Theory.

Breaking the Peierls and Spin Peierls states in Per2[Pt(mnt)2] with high magnetic field.

Strategy: follow the 195Pt NMR signal with field and temperature, and compare it with the transport data. But, could the

Pt chains be involved?

Pt Main Result So Far:The NMR signal vanishes when the CDW-Metal Phase Boundary Is Approached.

Possible that SP is not broken until the CDW phase boundary is reached.
