The spin–lattice relaxation time has been measured at 33 MHz as a function of temperature for the liquid crystal MBBA and mixtures with carbon tetrachloride. The behaviour of T1, close to the nematic–isotropic transition can be explained if the correct order fluctuation dependence is included. Diffusion constants calculated from fits to the self-diffusion contribution to relaxation are in agreement with existing results.
