The ternary compound UNiAl exhibiting an antiferromagnetic order below T N = 19 3 K has been studied in the paramagnetic state using the 27 Al NMR technique and different magnetically oriented samples. The quadrupole coupling constant e 2 qQ/h = 1 56 MHz is temperature independent. The dominant, lon

✦ Synopsis
We have studied the microscopic properties of the hexagonal ZrNiAl, a model compound for a wide family of intermetallic compounds crystallizing in this type of structure, by using 27 Al NMR spectroscopy. We have investigated the lineshape of static and MAS NMR spectra as a function of magnetic field strength (4.7-9.4 T) and temperature (5-300 K). Our data indicate that the 27 Al NMR spectra result from a combined effect of quadrupole and anisotropic shift interactions. The 27 Al nuclei are in an environment characterized by the quadrupole coupling constant e 2 qQ/h of 3.3 MHz, asymmetry parameter η Q of 0.42, isotropic shift δ iso of 393 ppm, shift anisotropy δ anis = δ zz -(δ xx + δ yy )/2 of 150 ppm, and asymmetry factor η S of 0.5. They are found to be temperature independent. The spin-lattice relaxation rate measured at 7.05 T is proportional to the temperature with T 1 T = 135 s K. The mechanisms responsible for observed values of δ iso δ anis T 1 T , and the enhanced Korringa constant are discussed.
