Two-pulse nuclear spin echoes were studied experimentally depending on the time of application and pulse amplitudes of the DC magnetic field-magnetic video-pulses (MVP) as well as on the value of the external magnetic field. The measurements were performed with nanopowders and polycrystals of metallic cobalt, in lithium ferrite and half metal Co2MnSi. Two types of dependences of these signals on time of application of MVP with respect to moments of application of exciting radio-frequency pulses were established, which were determined by the degree of anisotropy of local hyperfine fields. The mechanisms of influence of the pinning and mobility of domain walls on the revealed specific features of the signals under study are also discussed. It is shown that temporal spectra of the MVP effect on two-pulse echoes in multidomain magnets are determined by the parameters of domain walls and can be used for qualitative and quantitative characterization of the domain wall dynamics of magnets.
