Measurements at X-band frequencies of relaxation times and spin–phonon transition probabilities in ruby grown by the "vapor phase" method were carried out. They demonstrate the existence of relaxation processes which cannot be related to the spin–lattice coupling parameters obtained from ultrasonic and static stress experiments.

An experimental method based on the technique of microwave pumping was used to measure spin-phonon transition probabilities in dilute potassium chromi-cyanide. The set of numerical values obtained appears to indicate that the spin-lattice relaxation by the direct process of the cyanide-coordinated Cr3+ ion violates the quadrupolar selection rules. This behavior is in disagreement with the Kronig – Van Vleck theory, but is not contradicted by the experimental results of other workers.

This article describes the photo-generation processes of elementary excitations such as solitons and polarons, and their dynamics in the one-dimensional (1D) halogen-bridged Pt compound [Pt(en) 2 Br](ClO 4 ) 2 . Spin-solitons were photo-generated via relaxation processes of CT excitons and self-trapped excitons, made evident by photo-induced absorption and photo-induced electron spin resonance spectra. Polarons were not generated from CT excitons. Diffusion of spin-solitons on the 1D chain was studied quantitatively by analysing 1 H NMR spin-lattice relaxation times ( T 1 ).

The broad line p.m.r. spectra of the alkali metal oleates have been observed from 77 °K up to or beyond the crystalline to waxy phase transition. Lower phase transition temperatures are observed in the oleates than in the stearates. This fact is attributed to larger entropies of transition in the oleates than in the stearates. The n.m.r. second moments indicate that in the stearates the packing of chains is probably not closer than in the oleates and consequently that the barriers to chain reorientation are not significantly higher in the stearates than in the oleates. Sodium oleate and stearate both appear to behave irregularly in the series of alkali metal soaps. Spin-lattice relaxation times have been measured by adiabatic rapid passage methods for both alkali metal oleates and stearates. Values of T1 and of the activation energy barrier for the reorientation of end methyl groups are compared with values obtained by other workers. No significant difference is seen between relaxation processes in stearates and oleates, at least in the lower temperature range. Soaps which seem to have some amorphous character have a second relaxation mechanism, in addition to end methyl group rotation, which is evidently important in the region of about 150–250 °K.

Detailed measurements of the angular and temperature dependence (1.6 °K to 4.2 °K) of the dominant spin–lattice relaxation rates of Fe3+ in rutile have been carried out for a number of strong transitions at 9.4 Gc and 121 Gc using the pulse saturation method. At 9.4 Gc, two relaxation time components were observed, ranging from 0.5 to 1.2 ms and 1.6 to 4.0 ms, respectively, at 4.2 °K. Assuming a relationship of the form log(relaxation time) = −n∙log(temperature), the temperature dependence factor n was found to be between 0.4 and 1.0. The single relaxation time resolved at F band had values from 0.7 to 1.0 ms at 4.2 °K, and n between 0.1 and 0.6. The corresponding relative relaxation rates were calculated from the direct process spin–phonon transition probabilities, assuming Debye elastic isotropy for rutile. Using a cubic spin–lattice coupling tensor, [Formula: see text] was found to be 0.5 and the rate equations for the six-level system were solved. The calculated effective relaxation times were successfully identified with the slower dominant relaxation component of the experimental data.

The dielectric relaxation processes of acetone, cyclohexanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 4-heptanone in dilute nonpolar solvents, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride have been studied in the microwave region over a temperature range 10 to 60 °C. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated states have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by molecular and intramolecular rotation and compared, wherever possible, with other similar studies on aliphatic molecules.

Temperature-field and orientational magnetization dependences of single crystals were measured. Both samples demonstrate significant field-depending temperature hysteresis and low-temperature counter field magnetization. The correlation of orientational dependences of these effects and magnetic anisotropy is analyzed; the role of spin-lattice interactions is discussed.

The dielectric absorption of quinoline, isoquinoline, and their binary mixtures has been studied in the microwave region over a range of temperatures in dilute benzene and n-heptane solutions. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated state have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results obtained have been discussed in terms of the molecular motion of the system. A relation has been proposed to represent the relaxation behavior of a system of two Debye-type polar components in a non-polar solvent. The relation has been tested by comparing the calculated values with those determined experimentally for a few systems consisting of similar, simple rigid polar molecules.
