At room temperature single narrow resonances are observed. The absence of appreciable quadrupolar splitting or broadening indicates that the Li is isolated and at a site of cubic symmetry. As the temperature is lowered, a second resonance appears which is shifted higher in frequency by \~{}100\&$\#$xa0;ppm. We attribute the two lines to two distinct cubic sites with slightly different Knight shifts and discuss the application of this result to study fundamental phenomena exhibited by nano-confined metallic electrons.}, keywords = {Knight shift}, issn = {0921-4526}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0921-4526(02)01604-6}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921452602016046}, author = {W.A.
