Abstract The relaxation of nuclear dipolar energy to the lattice has been measured in three different organic solids (benzene, cyclohexane and hexamethylbenzene) as a function of temperature. In the cases of C6H8 and C6(CH3)6 very slow motions associated with rather high activation energy were detected near the melting point. They are thought to be thermally activated rotations of the molecules about axes other than the hexad axis. In the case of cyclohexane the activation energy for the process of molecular diffusion was determined directly from the experimental results without the need of a model for vacancy diffusion. A maximum in dipolar relaxation rate was always observed for correlation times of the order of the rigid lattice line width i. e. in the temperature region where the lines narrow.

AbstractOptically induced electron spin resonance (LESR) studies on time scales in between the previously published PL and LESR results (approximately 10 ms to 10 s) allow one to examine the cross over between energy-loss (downward) hopping of carriers and carrier recombination via tunneling. In addition, data in this time regime are directly compared in the same sample with NMR data on the dipolar spin-lattice relaxation of the bonded hydrogen where light induced electrons and holes are responsible for dipolar relaxation of bonded hydrogen. The LESR results confirm the interpretation of the NMR measurements.

The 35Cl NQR transition frequencies and the spin-lattice relaxation times, T1, for both lines in p-chlorophenol have been measured in the temperature range 90 - 310 K. The frequency difference and the temperature derivatives for both lines clearly show the existence of two temperature intervals with distinct lattice contributions to the EFG. Similarly, T1, data show a normal behaviour due to spin-phonon interactions up to 240 K. Above this temperature T1 begins to shorten in an exponential manner. The hindered motions of the OH group are proposed as responsibles of these effects, and an activation energy of 26 kJ mol-1 is determined.

ABSTRACTThe dynamic structure of xLi2S-Ga2S3-6GeS2 (x=4 and 6) glasses has been investigated by 7Li nuclear magnetic resonance. In two samples similar values of spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) were obtained. The relaxation mechanism at 20MHz and 78MHz is therefore attributed to the local motion of lithium ions. In the glass corresponding to x=6, which shows higher conductivity, the slow motion of ions showing an activation energy of 24.3kJ/Mol has been detected by the spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame (T1p). This value is comparable to the activation energy determined by the conductivity. The existence of this mode is supported by the motional narrowing of the line width which is sensitive to the motion less than 10kHz.

Abstract The reorientation of the tetrahedral complex anion ZnCl42- and the self-diffusion of the cation in (CH3NH3)2ZnCl4 were studied by 1H NMR spin-lattice relaxation time (1H T1) experiments. In the second highest-temperature phase, the temperature dependence of 1H T1 observed at 8.5 MHz could be explained by a magnetic dipolar-electric quadrupolar cross relaxation between 1H and chlorine nuclei, and the activation energy of the anion motion was determined to be 105 kJ mol -1 . In the highest-temperature phase, the activation energy of the self-diffusion of the cation was determined to be 58 kJ mol -1 from the temperature and frequency dependence of 1H T1

Samples of human and bovine cartilage have been examined using magnetic resonance imaging to determine the proton nuclear magnetic resonance spin–lattice relaxation time, T 1 , as a function of depth within through the cartilage tissue. T 1 was measured at five to seven temperatures between 8 and 38°C. From this, it is shown that the T 1 relaxation time is well described by Arrhenius-type behaviour and the activation energy of the relaxation process is quantified. The activation energy within the cartilage is approximately 11 ± 2 kJ mol −1 with this notably being less than that for both pure water (16.6 ± 0.4 kJ mol −1 ) and the phosphate-buffered solution in which the cartilage was immersed (14.7 ± 1.0 kJ mol −1 ). It is shown that this activation energy increases as a function of depth in the cartilage. It is known that cartilage composition varies with depth, and hence, these results have been interpreted in terms of the structure within the cartilage tissue and the association of the water with the macromolecular constituents of the cartilage.
