  7Li NMR measurements on LiV2O4 from 0.5 to 4.2 K are reported. A small
concentration of magnetic defects within the structure drastically changes the
7Li nuclear magnetization relaxation versus time from a pure exponential as in
pure LiV2O4 to a stretched exponential, indicating glassy behavior of the
magnetic defects. The stretched exponential function is described as arising
from a distribution of 7Li nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rates and we present
a model for the distribution in terms of the dynamics of the magnetic defects.
Our results explain the origin of recent puzzling 7Li NMR literature data on
LiV2O4 and our model is likely applicable to other glassy systems.
