Abstract

This chapter surveys the behaviour of radioactive probe nuclei with lifetimes in the range of tau //N approximately equals 10** minus **5 - 10**3 s in condensed matter. Not only hyperfine interactions (hfi) play a role in the experiments reported, but all interactions of the probe's nuclear moments with electromagnetic fields. All in-beam experiments using beta emitting nuclides in condensed matter are discussed. Further, those in-beam experiments using isomeric gamma emitters are reviewed, where nuclear magnetic resonance signals were observed or where spin-lattice relaxation phenomena - mostly in liquid metals - were investigated.
