Abstract

We deal with the magnetic interactions between conduction electrons and nuclei of the metal atoms. The electrons are polarized by an external magnetic field, and expose the nuclear magnetic moments to a hyperfine field which in the simplest case involves s-electrons. This is usually called the “contact” interaction, which is applied to the nucleus while they are both in the same place, in contrast to “action at a distance” as between two separate ions.
