Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the application of the method, spin–lattice relaxation, to a variety of nuclear relaxation phenomena, pointing out where the method succeeds, where it fails, and what can be learned about spin couplings in solids as a result. Two viewpoints are used in the chapter to discuss spin–lattice relaxation, the approach to thermal equilibrium that results from the coupling of the nuclear spins to their surroundings. In solids, nuclear spins are usually more tightly coupled among themselves than with their surroundings. Consequently, a correct treatment of both nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear spin relaxation in solids requires at the start a solution of the problem of many spins coupled by their dipolar fields; such a solution has never been obtained.
