description

Saturation kinetics of inhomogeneous resonance lines has been investigated in very dilute ruby samples at T=4.2°K by the saturation transient technique. Experimental evidence of the effectiveness of intraline spectral diffusion is reported. Satisfactory agreement is found between the experimental results and a theoretical model in which spectral diffusion is ascribed to the time fluctuations of the hyperfine field. Spectral diffusion times of the order of 10-5 sec are determined.
