Abstract
Spin relaxation allows one to probe lattice dynamics at a local level. Measurements in aerogels and xerogels reveal an identical behaviour as compared with glasses obtained by thermal quenching. While all thermal variations can be accounted for by a large number of activated local vibrations, these cannot explain the observed density dependence. When the density is lowered without modification of the local structure, relaxation is accelerated.
