Abstract

A general theory of spin diffusion in condensed media is constructed by the method of Zwanzig-Mori projection operators using the superpositional approximation to decouple the many-particle correlation functions. The spin diffusion coefficient is expressed in the form D sp=D tr+D f , where D tr is the contribution associated with translational displacements of the molecules and D f is the contribution caused by intermolecular flip-flop processes. The expression for D tr differs from the well-known Kubo-Green formula for the self-diffusion coefficient D sd in that the integrand contains an additional factor P f (t), which is the probability of the molecular spins not participating in intermolecular flip-flop transitions over the time t. A microscopic expression is obtained for D f in the form of a time integral of the intermolecular dipole-dipole dynamic correlation functions. For liquid-phase polymer system with fairly high molecular mass the condition D spD sd is satisfied.
