The rates of 2H, 13C, and 14N spin-lattice relaxation for liquid deuterium cyanide have been studied as a function of temperature. The quadrupolar nuclei relax exclusively by the quadrupolar relaxation mechanism while the rate of 13C and 15N relaxation is completely dominated by the spin-rotation mechanism. The apparent activation energy that describes the temperature dependence of spin-lattice relaxation for all nuclei studied is approximately 1.6 kcal mol−1. The temperature dependence of the rate of 13C relaxation in liquid HCN was also investigated. Although the determination of very accurate rotational and angular momentum correlation times is hampered by intermolecular effects on the nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants and the appropriately averaged C—H bond separation, the derived correlation times for DCN and HCN are in reasonable agreement (± 15%).

Calculations of nuclear quadrupolar spin–lattice relaxation times are presented. The expressions obtained for the first order Raman and anharmonic Raman processes are applicable to a pure nuclear quadrupole resonance investigation of the X nuclei in R2MX6 and RMX3 solids. On the basis of realistic assumptions it is shown that the anharmonic Raman process will provide the dominant relaxation mechanism for these nuclei in these compounds. The relation between the spin–lattice relaxation time and the lattice dynamics is obtained explicitly without recourse to an assumed form of lattice vibrational normal mode spectrum. In favorable cases it is shown that the spin–lattice relaxation times can be related to Brillouin zone averaged rotary mode frequencies which are useful for the analysis of experimental data.

AbstractThe spin-lattice relaxation time, T1, of the 23Na-NMR line in NaNO2 is measured between 25 K and 160 K at two magnetic field strengths, 1.1 T and 6.9 T. The temperature dependence of T1 for the center line, observed on a polycrystalline sample prepared by precipitation from aqueous solution, is given by a monotonous curve. T1 increases gradually as the temperature decreases. On the other hand for a single crystal, which is made by a modified Bridgman method, the temperature dependence of T1 shows two deep dips below 150 K and a frequency dependence which cannot be explained by ordinary BPP theory. The dominant relaxation mechanism above and below 150 K is also investigated.

The 11B, 10B, and 14N spin–lattice relaxation times (T1) for aqueous solutions of BH3NH3 were measured by NMR spectroscopy. The results of this investigation are consistent with the nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants reported in previous nuclear quadrupolar resonance and microwave studies. The activation energy associated with rotational reorientation of BH3NH3 in aqueous solution is 11.7 ± 0.6 kJ/mol. Electric field gradients were calculated at various levels of abinitio molecular orbital theory, in order to obtain theoretical 14N and 11B quadrupolar coupling constants. At the highest level of calculation (CI(SD)/6-31G**//MP2/6-31G**), these are in agreement with recently reported microwave results but not with previously reported NQR experiments.

ABSTRACT1H NMR has been employed to study the local environments of bonded hydrogen and trapped molecular hydrogen (H2) in a series of a-Si1−xGex:H alloys. There is a monotonic decrease of bonded hydrogen with increasing x from ≈ 10 at. % at x = 0 (a-Si:H) to ≈ 1 at. % at x = 1 (a-Ge:H). The amplitude of the broad 1H NMR line, which is attributed to clustered bonded hydrogen, decreases continuously across the system. The amplitude of the narrow 1H NMR line, which is attributed to bonded hydrogen essentially randomly distributed in the films, decreases as x increases from 0 to ≈ 0.2. From x = 0.2 to x ≈ 0.6 the amplitude of the narrow 1H NMR line is essentially constant, and for x ≥ 0.6 the amplitude decreases once again. The existence of trapped H2 molecules is inferred indirectly by their influence on the temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation times, T1. Through T1, measurements it is determined that the trapped H2 concentration drops precipitously between x = 0.1 and x = 0.2, but is fairly constant for 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.6. For a-Si:H (x = 0) the H2 concentration is ≈ 0.1 at. %, while for x ≥ 0.2 the concentration of H2 is ≤ 0.02 at. %.
