A mechanism is proposed to explain the observed fast τx spin–lattice relaxation processes observed in close phosphorus donor pairs in silicon. The mechanism is based on a mixing of states of different total electronic spin by the hyperfine interaction and a modulation of the pair exchange energy by the lattice vibrations. The exchange-energy expression used is calculated from single-atom wave functions composed of linear combinations of the Bloch states at the six conduction-band minima. The resultant relaxation rate is shown to agree with experimental observations.

Abstract The second-order Raman phonon process for a multilevel spin system is shown to give a quadru-polar spin-lattice relaxation rate T1-1varying as T5 at very low temperatures. This relaxation rate for quadrupole spins is similar to the one discussed for a paramagnetic spin system having a multilevel ground state. The temperature dependence of T1 is discussed on the basis of some simplifying assumptions about the nature of the lattice vibrations in the Debye approximation. This type of relaxation process has been observed below 20 K in tetramethylammonium hydrogen bis-trichloroacetate for the 35Cl T1-1 . Below 20 K the NQR frequency in the same crystal reveals a T4 temperature dependence due to the induced modulations of the vibrational and librational coordinates by the low-frequency acoustic phonons.

Abstract Spin Lattice Relaxation in the Triplet State of Qainoxaline in Perdeuteronaphthalene and of two Similar Mixed Crystals The spin lattice relaxation in the excited triplet state of three mixed crystals was investigated: Quinoxaline in perdeutero-naphthalene, quinoxaline in naphthalene (X-traps) and quinoxaline in durene. They differ by the depth of their traps, which are shallow (90 cm -1), very shallow (60 cm -1) and deep (6600 cm -1), respectively. In order to identify the relaxation processes and the relaxation mechanism, the experiments were performed in the large magnetic field range be-tween 0.2 T and 5.4 T. By use of a non-resonant optical method and by ESR and ODMR it could be shown that at high fields the direct process (emission of resonant phonons) is the only efficient process up to 4.2 K. At low fields Raman-processes are dominant. Thereby the spin lattice relaxation probability per unit time, w, increases with the ninth power of the temperature in the shallow trap systems and with the fifth power in the deep trap system. By the analysis of the very strong anisotropy of w it could be shown that the efficient relaxation mechanism in the shallow trap systems is a guest-host-interaction modulated by phonons.

Abstract The temperature dependence of the 35Cl nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) frequency and spin lattice relaxation time (T1) are studied in crystalline BiCl3 , in the range 40-300 K. The positive temperature coefficient observed for one of the 35Cl resonances is explained in terms of the strong intermolecular interactions that exist in this compound. Variation of with temperature is found to be similar at the chemically inequivalent halogen sites. Semiclassical descriptions based on torsional oscillator dynamics are found to be inadequate for explaining the spin lattice relaxation. T1 (T) data follow an AT2 + BT3 type behaviour, indicating that the anharmonic nature of the lattice vibrations plays a significant role in determining the temperature dependence of T1 at high temperatures.

AbstractThe relaxation processes and the properties of polymer/ceramic nanocomposites have been studied by the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance methods. Nanocomposites of poly(ethylene terephthalate) PET and poly(phenylene sulfide) PPS with 0.25, 2.5 and 5% wt. barium titanate BT were prepared using a twin screw extruder and injection moulding machine. The spin-lattice relaxation time T1, second moment M2 and the motional parameters as e.g. the activation energies in the nanocomposites were investigated.
