Erratum: Measurement of longitudinal and transverse spin relaxation rates using the ground-state Hanle effect [Phys. Rev. A84, 053421 (2011)]

We used Magnetic Resonance microimaging (MRI) to study the compressive behaviour of synthetic elastin. Compression-induced changes in the elastin sample were quantified using longitudinal and transverse spin relaxation rates (R1 and R2, respectively). Spatially-resolved maps of each spin relaxation rate were obtained, allowing the heterogeneous texture of the sample to be observed with and without compression. Compression resulted in an increase of both the mean R1 and the mean R2, but most of this increase was due to sub-locations that exhibited relatively low R1 and R2 in the uncompressed state. This behaviour can be described by differential compression, where local domains in the hydrogel with a relatively low biopolymer content compress more than those with a relatively high biopolymer content.

Energy Dependent

We study the experimental consequences of a gap function which is odd in energy. This type of gap may occur in high temperature superconductors. We show that nuclear spin relaxation experiments can be used to probe the "particle-hole parity" of a gap function. We find that an exponent α=1/3 which characterizes the energy dependence is in agreement with the currently available experimental data of both the nuclear spin relaxation rate (∝T(2-α)/α) and the electromagnetic penetration depth (∝T(1-α)/α).
