The spin-lattice relaxation time T1 for protons and deuterons in CH4, CH3D, CH2D2, CHD3, and CD4 has been measured as a function of density ρ and temperature T for 0.1 Amagat [Formula: see text] Amagats and [Formula: see text] The results are interpreted, using the approximation that the correlation function of each operator in the angular momentum coordinates is expressed as a product of the free molecule correlation function and an exponentially decaying function of time. The proton spin relaxation is found to be due to the spin-rotation interaction, while the deuteron spin relaxation is due to the intramolecular quadrupolar interaction.

The proton spin-lattice relaxation time T1 was used to study the short range orientational order fluctuations just above the nematic–isotropic transition in p-methoxy benzyli-dene p-n-butylaniline at 14, 11, and 4 MHz. This is made possible by calculating the contribution to the spin relaxation rate due to the molecular self-diffusion, which is known to be effective in relaxing the proton spins. The (T1)ef due to the critical order fluctuations at 4 MHz can be interpreted with the theory of de Gennes but not with the simple Bloembergen–Purcell–Pound theory.

Abstract A model for the spin lattice relaxation time of the protons of dimethylammonium in the Redfield limit and common spin temperature approximation is developed. The three fold reorientations of the methyl groups, the rotation of the whole molecular group around its two fold symmetric axis and possible correlations among these motions are considered. The effect of these processes on the dipolar interactions among the protons within the same molecular group is taken into account. The resulting relaxation rate is powder averaged and used to explain the experimental data in literature on [NH2(CH3)2]3Sb2Br9 . The analysis shows that dynamically inequivalent groups exist in this compound and that the effect of proposed correlation among the different motions on the final results is negligible.

Measurements of the proton spin–lattice relaxation time using pulse techniques have been made on the hydrogen–nitrogen, hydrogen–neon, and hydrogen–helium systems from room temperature to 60° K. The results are in good agreement with the Oppenheim–Bloom theory and illustrate the importance of the radial distribution of the gas molecules and of diffraction effects associated with the de Broglie wavelength.

AbstractThe water proton spin-lattice relaxation time and recovery function of exchangeable water was measured in tricalcium silicate (C3S) gels. The measurements were carried out as a function of the hydration time and grain size. Results show that the hydration of (C3S) is a two stage process. A model is developped
