The magnetic-resonance shape function g(omega) of impurity beta-active
Li-8 nuclei has been measured in LiF by beta-NMR spectroscopy. The ex
ternal magnetic field was oriented along the [001], [011], and [111] a
xes of the single crystals in different measurements. The function g(o
mega) varies over nearly five orders of magnitude. The hypothesis of n
ormal fluctuations of the local magnetic field at impurity nuclei, com
bined with the general principles of the theory of irreversible proces
ses, leads to a quite general and elementary description of the phase
relaxation of these nuclei. This description is convenient for interpr
eting experiments.
