NMR Relaxation in Heterogeneous Systems

Abstract

THERE has recently been some discussion1,2 of the difficulties of interpreting nuclear magnetic resonance line broadening in complex heterogeneous suspensions. The discussion has been concerned with hindered rotation of solvent species, and it has been confined to proton magnetic relaxation. We report here a study of the relaxation phenomenon in a well defined physicochemical system and contrast the results for proton and deuteron relaxation.
