Abstract
It is shown that an application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of 47Ti, 49Ti and 91Zr quadrupolar nuclei is extremely useful in controlling the microscopic structure of semi-Heusler-type intermetallics, e.g. structural order/disorder at local sites. No valuable information on structural order/disorder in MPtSn compounds can, however, be directly obtained from static NMR spectra of spin 1/2 117Sn, 119Sn and 195Pt nuclei since the observed spectra are broadened far beyond the rigid-lattice dipolar width due to indirect spin couplings of these heavy nuclei through the chemical bond.
