The Schwinger formula for the relaxation time T1 of nuclear spins in hydrogen gas is valid only for sufficiently low temperatures. In this paper an approximate theory of T1 is developed valid for any temperature. An explicit expression is given for T1 valid for temperatures up to room temperature; this expression reduces to the Schwinger formula for sufficiently low temperatures.

The effective relaxation time T2e is calculated in the weak-collision case, for identical nuclear spins in the presence of a Mansfield–Ware-4 multipulse sequence. The dipole–dipole, quadrupole, and spin-rotational interactions are taken into account.

Measurements of the longitudinal nuclear spin relaxation time through the region of the characteristic minimum at 49 MHz in mixtures of molecular hydrogen with the noble gases helium and argon and with molecular nitrogen are reported at 298 K. The data obtained serve as a further test of the basic approximations in the Bloom–Oppenheim theory and provide preliminary information concerning the role of inelastic collisions in the nuclear spin relaxation process.

The differential equations which describe the relaxation of macroscopic observables associated with nuclear spins in homonuclear diatomic molecules are derived using an expansion of the nuclear spin density matrix in terms of irreducible tensors. It is shown, using an intramolecular quadrupole mechanism, that the only difference between nuclear spin relaxation of the ortho- and para-species arises from the rotational states being restricted to odd and even values. This difference is vanishingly small at high temperatures so that the relaxation equations for nuclear magnetization become identical for both species. A previous paper predicting a difference even at high temperatures is shown to be in error and is corrected.

T1 and T2 in H2 are expressed in terms of correlation functions of the intamolecular interactions in the Schwinger model. A relationship between these correlation functions and correlation functions of the intermolecular interactions is derived. An approximate theory of the influence of higher rotational states is given.

In the low doping limit, a high Tc cuprate preserves a two band structure. O2p electrons are itinerant, Cu3d electrons are localized. Therefore the two component model is suitable to describe nuclear spin relaxation at copper sites. In addition to the Korringa process, the hyperfine interaction between nuclear spins and local electron spins is considered, which gives rise to the anomalous relaxation rate 1/T1 = a + bT. The decrease of the susceptibility near Tc, as shown by the Knight shift measurements, can be attributed to the ordering of local spins and the pairing of the uncompensated spins created by holes at the oxygen sites.
