Abstract
Electron spin resonance (ESR) results of in and are analyzed using a multiband (-, -, and -type) model of correlated conduction electrons. The need for a multiband analysis of our results is based on the following observations: (i) the Korringa rates and for for and , respectively, are larger than those expected from the respective measured shifts (Knight shift), and (ii) negative and positive shifts and were observed for in and , respectively. Specific heat and magnetic susceptibility measurements, in the samples studied by ESR, show that electron-electron correlations are present in both compounds.
