Rotating frame proton spin relaxation in viscous glycerol

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and nuclei

Abstract

The observation of a rotating frame Larmor frequency dependence in the proton spin relaxation of glycerol lends support to a recent study of proton spin relaxation in this substance. Comparison of the data to recent theories describing spin relaxation by translational diffusion strongly suggest that this is the dominant relaxation process in glycerol near room temperature. In addition, the measurement of the self-diffusion coefficient of glycerol, at a temperature lower than has been previously reported, indicates that this rotating frame technique may be useful in the study of diffusion in viscous media.
