An approximate analytical expression for the nuclear quadrupole transverse relaxation rate of half-integer spins in liquids.
نویسنده
چکیده
The nuclear quadrupole transverse relaxation process of half-integer spins in liquid samples is known to exhibit multi-exponential behaviors. Within the framework of Redfield's relaxation theory, exact analytical expressions for describing such a process exist only for spin-3/2 nuclei. As a result, analyses of nuclear quadrupole transverse relaxation data for half-integer quadrupolar nuclei with spin >3/2 must rely on numerical diagonalization of the Redfield relaxation matrix over the entire motional range. In this work we propose an approximate analytical expression that can be used to analyze nuclear quadrupole transverse relaxation data of any half-integer spin in liquids over the entire motional range. The proposed equation yields results that are in excellent agreement with the exact numerical calculations.

Role of nuclear quadrupole coupling on decoherence and relaxation of central spins in quantum dots.
Strain-induced gradients of local electric fields in semiconductor quantum dots can couple to the quadrupole moments of nuclear spins. We develop a theory describing the influence of this quadrupolar coupling on the spin correlators of electron and hole "central" spins localized in such dots. We show that when the quadrupolar coupling strength is comparable to or larger than the hyperfine coupl...
متن کاملOptimal control of coupled spins in the presence of longitudinal and transverse relaxation
In this paper, we develop methods for optimal manipulation of coupled spin dynamics in the presence of relaxation. These methods are used to compute analytical bounds for the optimal efficiency of coherence transfer between coupled nuclear spins in presence of longitudinal and transverse relaxation. We derive relaxation optimized pulse sequences which achieve these bounds and maximize the sensi...

The dynamics of half-integer quadrupole spins ~I5 3 2 , 5 2 , 7 2 , and 9 2 ! during the multiple-quantum ~MQ! magic-angle spinning experiment with the two-pulse sequence, a recent NMR method, is analyzed in order to scale in frequency unit and label in ppm ~the chemical shift unit! the high-resolution isotropic axis of a two-dimensional ~2D! spectrum. Knowledge of the two observed chemical shi...
متن کاملGeneral treatment of paramagnetic relaxation enhancement associated with translational diffusion.
A theory of nuclear spin relaxation in isotropic liquids for nuclear spins interacting with electron spins, residing in other molecules (the outer-sphere relaxation), is presented. The approach, valid outside of the Redfield limit for electron spin relaxation, is an extension of the Swedish slow motion theory [Benetis et al., Mol. Phys. 48, 329 (1983); Nilsson and Kowalewski, J. Magn. Reson. 14...
متن کاملNuclear magnetic relaxation induced by exchange-mediated orientational randomization: longitudinal relaxation dispersion for spin I = 1.
The frequency dependence of the longitudinal relaxation rate, known as the magnetic relaxation dispersion (MRD), can provide a frequency-resolved characterization of molecular motions in complex biological and colloidal systems on time scales ranging from 1 ns to 100 μs. The conformational dynamics of immobilized proteins and other biopolymers can thus be probed in vitro or in vivo by exploitin...
