Temperature dependence of relaxation time T1 vs T2

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between temperature and the longitudinal (T1) and transversal (T2) relaxation times in the context of NMR relaxation time investigations of Relaxor ferroelectrics. It is established that as temperature increases, T1 decreases due to enhanced dynamics and fluctuations at a frequency of 100 MHz. Conversely, T2 is argued to decrease with increasing temperature, as it is influenced by the spectral density at zero frequency, which broadens with higher dynamics. The participants clarify that while T2 is affected by contributions at 100 MHz, the primary focus remains on the zero-frequency motion.

Hi,
when we assume a obejct with increasing dynamics with increasing temperature, the longitudinal relaxation time T1 should decrease. Since we have, let's say at a frequency 100 MHz , more fluctuations of B0.

Ok, then the transversal relaxation time T2 must increase with increasing temperature, right? Because T2 depends on the spectral density at j(0) (zero frequency). so when there is a increasing dynamic, the zero-frequency-motion-ometer (=T2) must decrease. Is it right?

I know there is also a j(100MHz) contribution within T2, but let's assume that's negligible.

Thanks a lot, sorry for bad english!

Hi, DrClaude,

Its about the investigation of Relaxor ferroelectrics with NMR relaxation time.

I don't understand the argument here.

In this picture we can see the spectral density with different frequencies. If there are are high dynamics => shorter correlation time => frequency distribution becomes broader. the dashed lines is referred to the T1 relaxation time. T2 is at 0Hz. Thus, increasing dynamics lead to low T2, right?
 
The energy density for every frequency increases with temperature.
