4He and3He films adsorbed in nanoporous silicates have shown similar heat capacities until the quantum-fluid layer appears at coverages over the first-layer completionn1. To obtain information on dynamics of adatoms at low coverages below the quantum fluid region, we have done pulsed-NMR experiment at 3.3áMHz for3He films adsorbed in straight 2.4ánm nanochannels of FSM silicates. The spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation timesT1andT2observed at 0.54–7áK were well described by the two-dimensional version of the Bloembergen-Purcell-Pound model. At coverages 0.4–1.7n1, minima ofT1, indicating the spin correlation timeτcof 4.8Î10−8ásec, were observed at temperatures between 6 and 3áK. With decreasing temperature, changes inT1andT2become small below about 1.5áK, suggesting crossover from thermally-activated motion to quantum tunneling. In contrast to large variations belown1, both relaxation times aboven1are almost independent of coverage, which is likely to indicate thatτcis determined by interlayer exchange of adatoms. Belown1, onsets for localization of adatoms were suggested by a decrease ináT2.
