Influence of confined geometry on nuclear spin relaxation and self-diffusion in liquid indium

چکیده
The spin-lattice relaxation times for the In isotope in liquid indium embedded into artificial opals and porous glass were found to be shortened remarkably compared to the bulk indium melt. The spin relaxation acceleration was ascribed mainly to the enhancement of the quadrupole contribution caused by the translational diffusion in liquid indium; the magnetic contribution was implied unchanged on the base of the Knight shift measurements and the Korringa relation. Calculations made for quadrupole relaxation showed that it dominated the spin relaxation process for indium in nanopores and that the correlation times of atomic motion increased by more than a factor of 6 depending on pore sizes. The increase in the correlation time evidenced drastic slowing down the atomic diffusion for confined melted indium.

Self-Diffusion Slowdown in Liquid Indium and Gallium under Confinement
1. Introduction When liquids are embedded into nanoporous matrices their physical properties can be affected by confinement conditions. In particular, the self-diffusion process within nanopores was shown to alter noticeably compared to bulk for many inorganic and organic liquids. Our recent NMR studies showed that atomic mobility in liquid indium and gallium embedded into nanoporous matrices i...
متن کاملNuclear spin-lattice relaxation in trans-polyacetylene (CH)x. A confined soliton model including nuclear spin flip diffusion
2014 A « confined soliton model » in which the solitons move over a small part of the chain is developed. The on-chain nuclei are relaxed directly by contact hyperfine interactions whilst the remainder nuclei relax via nuclear spin flip diffusion. It is found that the proton spin-lattice relaxation data can be rationalized in terms of the fast and confined one-dimensional hopping motion of the ...

The nuclear magnetic relaxation of 23Na and z9Si in albite glass and liquid has been studied from 800 K to 1400 K. The dominant spin-lattice relaxation mechanism for 23Na is found to be nuclear quadrupole interaction arising from the Na + diffusion. The activation energy of the Na diffusion is found to be 71 _+ 3 kJ/mol, in close agreement with the results on electrical conductivity and on Na s...
متن کاملSpin Echoes
Intense radiofrequency power in the form of pulses is applied to an ensemble of spins in a liquid placed in a large static magnetic Geld H&. The frequency of the pulsed r-f power satisGes the condition for nuclear magnetic resonance, and the pulses last for times which are short compared with the time in which the nutating macroscopic magnetic moment of the entire spin ensemble can decay. After...
متن کاملEffects of Diffusion on Free Precession in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Experiments
Nuclear resonance techniques involving free precession are examined, and, in particular, a convenient variation of Hahn s spin-echo method is described. This variation employs a combination of pulses of different intensity or duration ("90-degree" and "180-degree" pulses). Measurements of the transverse relaxation time T2 in Quids are often severely compromised by molecular diffusion. Hahn s an...
