摘要
We estimate the rate of fluctuations as 10(11) sec(-1) in the normal state of Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4 assuming that the spin fluctuations are the primary source of relaxation phenomena affecting the shape of the Mossbauer peaks. In the oxygenated and nonsuperconducting compound, the magnetic order is quasistatic rather than static as is generally believed. The spin clusters fluctuate at an approximate rate of 10(9) sec(-1) below the Neel temperature. These findings may bear on the possible correlation between antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations and superconductivity.
