AbstractNuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was applied for structural investigations of the bulk metallic glass system Zr55Cu30A110Ni5. The 63Cu as well as 27Al resonance was used. For both nuclei, two different spin-lattice relaxation rates were found which can be explained by different local environments of the nuclei.

The enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance (n. m. r.) spectrum of 169 Tm ( I = ½) in the tetragonal compound TmPO 4 has been measured from 1.6 K to 30 K. It is highly anisotropic, with γ /2π = 11.34 and 276MHzT -1 , parallel and perpendicular to the c -axis respectively, at the lowest temperatures. The corresponding values of the Van Vleck electronic susceptibility per ion are 0.0231 and 0.805 μ B T -1 . Above 4 K the values of γ /2π become temperature dependent as excited levels become populated, and the results are discussed in the light of a crystal field calculation of the energy levels and wave functions. The n. m. r. spectrum of 31 P ( I = ½) is shown to exhibit an anisotropic paramagnetic shift, mainly dipolar in origin, exactly proportional to the electronic susceptibility of the Tm 3+ ions, and this is used to extrapolate the measurement of γ for 169 Tm up to 64 K in the perpendicular direction. A simple calculation of the direct process for spin-lattice relaxation shows that this is orders of magnitude too slow to account for the observed relaxation rates, which must be ascribed to the presence of paramagnetic impurities.

Fast-field-cycling nuclear magnetic resonance (FFC-NMR) is a powerful technique for non-destructively probing the properties of fluids contained within the pores of porous materials. FFC-NMR measures the spin–lattice relaxation rate R 1 ( f ) as a function of NMR frequency f over the kHz to MHz range. The shape and magnitude of the R 1 ( f ) dispersion curve is exquisitely sensitive to the relative motion of pairs of spins over time scales of picoseconds to microseconds. To extract information on the nano-scale dynamics of spins, it is necessary to identify a model that describes the relative motion of pairs of spins, to translate the model dynamics to a prediction of R 1 ( f ) and then to fit to the experimental dispersion. The principles underpinning one such model, the 3 τ model, are described here. We present a new fitting package using the 3 τ model, called 3TM, that allows users to achieve excellent fits to experimental relaxation rates over the full frequency range to yield five material properties and much additional derived information. 3TM is demonstrated on historic data for mortar and plaster paste samples.
