Spin-Lattice and Spin-Spin Relaxation Time Question

AI Thread Summary
To determine the spin-spin relaxation time (T2) using the delay time between 90-degree and 180-degree pulses in NMR, the relevant equation is Mxy(t) = Mxy(0) e^(-t/T2). The delay time refers to the interval between these two pulse types, which is crucial for measuring T2. Understanding how to plug in values for Mxy(t), Mxy(0), and t is essential for solving the equation. This discussion emphasizes the need for clarity on these parameters to accurately calculate T2. The relationship between pulse timing and relaxation times is a fundamental aspect of NMR experiments.

Homework Statement
To find the spin-lattice relaxation time (##T_1##), I could use the below equation to get my value.

$$T_1 = \frac{T_{min}}{\ln{(2)}}$$

For the spin-spin relaxation time, however, is there a similar equation I could use as well to find for ##T_2## (i.e. the spin-spin relaxation time)?
Relevant Equations
The below equation may (or may not) come in handy.

$$M_y = M_0 e^{-t/T_2}$$
$$\ln{(I(t))} = \ln{(I_0)} - \frac{t}{T_2}$$

Note that ##I(t)## is the intensity of the echo.
Please refer to the homework statement.

Or, if one would like to put it in other words, how would I go about finding ##T_2## if I know the delay time between 90-degree and 180-degree pulses? Is there an equation that helps solve this succinctly?

can you define "delay time between 90-degree and 180-degree pulses" for a person who doesn't know nmr? what experiment does that describe? The question boils down to what values can you plug in for ##M_{xy}(t)##, ##M_{xy}(0)##and ##t##.

The ##T_2## is given using the equation

$$M_{xy}(t) = M_{xy}(0) e^{-t/T_2}$$Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(NMR)

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
