Robin--
I would tend to agree, however I would guess that the intense magnetic
fields may even with paired electrons. I suggested paired electrons, since
they occupy inner shells of the Ni atom and would be closer to a coupled
nuclear magnetic dipole. (It is thought that in electron capture reactions
a single electron (inner shell paired) reacts with a nucleus. I am not sure
whether the electro-weak force involves magnetic fields, but I would guess
it does.)
In any case I did not intend to exclude unpaired electrons from magnetic
interaction. Also in a BEC it is not clear to me, paired particles remain
paired "within" the condensate. It may be that only the entire sum of
intrinsic spin be 0 or an integer but not a half integer.

Hi,
[snip]
There may be a gyro-magnetic couple between Ni lattice
paired electrons and Ni nucleons (and Li-7 nucleons) with the BEC being
the
coupling mechanism.
I think paired particles (either electrons or protons) have their magnetic
fields arranged:-
NS
SN
(use a fixed font to see this properly).
IOW they largely cancel one another's field. That means that there is very
little magnetic field left to couple with anything external.
