Proton Spin-lattice Relaxation in Amorphous States of Organic Molecular Solids

چکیده
We have measured the temperature dependence of the proton spin-lattice relaxation rate R at 8.50 and 22.5 MHz in solid 1,3,5-tri-ethyl-benzene and solid 1,2,4-tri-ethyl-benzene. Analysis of the data strongly suggests that we are studying amorphous states in these slowly solidified organic solids (that are liquids at room temperature). The ethyl groups are static on the Larmor frequency timescale. There are no simple-model interpretations of the data, but a reasonable model for the dominantly-occurring amorphous state data observed with 1,3,5-tri-ethyl-benzene suggests that two of the three methyl groups are reorienting and the third is static on the proton Larmor frequency time scale. The same approach for the two amorphous states observed in 1,2,4-tri-ethyl-benzene suggests that all three methyl groups are reorienting in one state and that three of the six methyl groups in each pair of molecules are turned off in a second state. We discuss that, whereas specific dynamical statements are model dependent, the proton spin relaxation technique does make some general qualitative statements about the mesostructure of the solid.

Proton Magnetic Relaxation in Gases
Measurements of the longitudinal nuclear spin relaxation time, Ti, in molecular gases are analogous to non-resonant absorption measurements; Ti is determined primarily by that part of the spin-lattice interaction which couples free molecular states of the same energy. The contribution to Ti of matrix elements of the spin-lattice interaction between rotational states of different energy is quenc...

The spin locking method known from NMR is shown to be useful also in ESR for investigating spin lattice relaxation problems and "slow" motions, e. g. questions of energy transfer by triplet states in organic molecular crystals, and probing of nuclear quadrupolar splittings even smaller than the ESR line width at zero magnetic field. Optically detected ESR spin locking experiments for isolated t...

Spin-lattice relaxation in amorphous silicon. Evidence of anomalous temperature dependences
2014 We have investigated the spin-lattice relaxation of localized states in evaporated amorphous silicon films. Temperature and concentration dependences of the relaxation rate have been measured in the temperature range 4.2-290 K. Below 10 K a phonon bottleneck is present. Between 10 and 100 K, a single phonon process predominates. It can be accounted for assuming a significant exchange inter...

We have obtained I70 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of a variety of ‘70-labeled solids (Mg(OH)z, Ca(OH)*, boehmite (AlO(C talc (Mg3Si.,0,,(OH)2), (C6H,),SiOH, and amorphous Si02) using high-field static and “magioangle” sample spinning techniques, together with ‘H cross polarization and dipolar decoupling. Our results show that large cross-polarization enhancements can be obtained and that ...
