From room temperature down to temperatures near the Curie point ( T C = 2.21 K) the ESR linewidths of GdCl 3 ellipsoids narrow according to the simple law Δ H(T ) = Δ H (∞) × [1 – (θ(0) – CN z )/ T ], where N z denotes the demagnetization factor parallel to the applied static field. The result is explained by linearized modified Bloch equations, which describe the time development of the magnetization M (t ) under the influence of a molecular field and of relaxation forces driving M (t ) to a state of equilibrium determined by the instantaneous molecular field.
