Detailed 27Al and 63Cu nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments have been performed in between 4.5 and 295 K on a polycrystalline sample of CeCu3Al2 which has a Kondo temperature ∼11K. The NMR spectral features and Knight shift measurements show that in this compound, Cu occupy both c and g lattice sites, while Al occupy only the g sites. From the temperature dependence of Knight shift (K), the hyperfine fields for 63Cu and 27Al at the g sites have been estimated as 2.02(5) and 1.67(5)kOe/μB, respectively, and that for 63Cu at c sites as −3.83(5)kOe/μB. Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) measurements indicate that though the relaxation process is governed by fluctuations of magnetic interaction, nuclear quadrupolar interaction also has a significant contribution, especially towards relaxation of 63Cu in both c and g sites. For 27Al, K and T1 have yielded the effective 4f-spin correlation rate 1/τ4f1/τ4f. The behavior of its temperature dependence indicates that at low temperatures in CeCu3Al2, the valence state of cerium might not be stable.
