The effects of a non-zero average zero-field splitting on electron spin relaxation in paramagnetic (S = 1) complexes is treated theoretically. The spin-lattice interaction is postulated to be a simple scalar P(t). S process with correlation time Ti. This process is assumed not to modulate the zero-field splitting which, however, is modulated by the molecular tumbling. The frequency dependence of the nuclear relaxation time (Tl) now depends on the magnitude of the zero-field splitting constant (D), and, for large values of D, the value of T1 is independent of the applied field strength.

We study the experimental consequences of a gap function which is odd in energy. This type of gap may occur in high temperature superconductors. We show that nuclear spin relaxation experiments can be used to probe the "particle-hole parity" of a gap function. We find that an exponent α=1/3 which characterizes the energy dependence is in agreement with the currently available experimental data of both the nuclear spin relaxation rate (∝T(2-α)/α) and the electromagnetic penetration depth (∝T(1-α)/α).
