TLDR
In this article, measurements of the specific heat at low temperatures were reported for single-crystal samples of K2ReCl6, K2IrCl6 and K2PtCl6.Abstract:
Measurements of the specific heat at low temperatures are reported for single-crystal samples of K2ReCl6, K2IrCl6, and K2PtCl6 The data for K2IrCl6 give strong evidence that in addition to the well-established antiferromagnetic phase transition occurring at a temperature T
N = 301 ± 001 K, a displacive phase transition occurs at T
c= 283 ± 002 K Although the compounds are structurally similar, the background specific heats at low temperatures are significantly different A careful analysis of these data plus previous data for K2OsCl6 shows that the reason for the large differences in the lattice specific heats is the presence of low-lying rotary modes A Debye temperature of 911 ± 05 K is deduced and effective rotary mode frequencies of 286, 291, 300, and 379 cm−1 are found for K2ReCl6, K2OsCl6, K2IrCl6, and K2PtCl6, respectivelyread more

TL;DR: In this article, the one-phonon relaxation α T and two-phase relaxation αT5 were proposed to explain the low-temperature NMR T1 and T1ϱ of protons in pure and partly deuterated (NH4)2MCl6, where M4+ = Pd4+, Pt4+, Os4+, Sn4+, Pb4+ and Te4+ have been measured at f 0 = 4, 10, 30 and 48 MHz.

Method for smooth approximation of data
TL;DR: The method allows for the inclusion of additional information, such as uncertainties in the data and other constraints given by the general phenomenology of the experiment or theory, and can be applied to the calculation of numerical derivatives and integrals of data points.

Exchange interactions in antiferromagnetic salts of iridium II. Magnetic susceptibility measurements
TL;DR: The results obtained at high temperatures have been analysed into a susceptibility following a Curie-Weiss law together with temperature-independent terms as mentioned in this paper, and the values of the isotropic exchange interactions between neighbouring iridium ions deduced from the Weiss constant agree well with those calculated from paramagnetic resonance measurements.

Exchange Interactions in Antiferromagnetic Salts of Iridium. I. Paramagnetic Resonance Experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the resonance spectrum from nearest-neighbour pairs of Ir ions in semi-dilute mixed crystals where Pt is substituted for Ir was analyzed and the results showed that the isotropic p art of the Ir-Ir exchange, J / k, is antiferromagnetic and of magnitude 11.5 ± 1°K and 7.5°1°K for the potassium and ammonium salts, respectively.
