Quadrupolar spin relaxation mechanisms for 235U in liquid UF6
Keyword(s):
The nuclear spin lattice relaxation time is calculated for 235U situated at the center of an octahedral 235UF6 molecule. Vibrational distortion, collisional deformation, and electric fields induced by neighbouring hexadecapole moments are considered as possible mechanisms that could account for the observed 235U quadrupolar relaxation rate. The efficiency of these mechanisms in causing relaxation is discussed by comparing the calculated value with the experimentally determined one.
