Why Do My T1 and T2 Values for Mineral Oil Show Significant Errors?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the discrepancies observed in T1 and T2 relaxation times for mineral oil, with reported errors exceeding 50%. The participant highlights that their values do not conform to the expected relationship of T1 being greater than T2. Additionally, they suggest investigating T1 and T2 relaxation times specifically for Copper Sulfate as a comparative measure.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of T1 and T2 relaxation times in NMR spectroscopy
  • Familiarity with mineral oil properties and applications
  • Knowledge of Copper Sulfate's role in NMR studies
  • Basic principles of error analysis in scientific measurements
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the T1 and T2 relaxation times for Copper Sulfate in detail
  • Investigate the factors contributing to measurement errors in NMR spectroscopy
  • Explore methods to accurately measure T1 and T2 values for various substances
  • Review literature on the physical properties of mineral oil affecting NMR results
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in the field of NMR spectroscopy, chemists studying mineral oil and Copper Sulfate, and professionals involved in error analysis of scientific measurements.

Homework Statement
I just need help determining how to find T1 and T2 relaxation times as well as formulas for each. If anyone has any idea where to find T1 and T2 relaxation times for Copper Sulfate in the following concentrations 1 M and .1 M.
Relevant Equations
I know that T1 = t_o/ln(2) but I dont know if there is a formula for T2 besides graphing the data for T2 and getting the line of best fit (exponential) and then inverting the b in e^(-bx), to get that T2=1/b.
I have found articles that show T1 and T2 values for mineral oil and I compare them to mine and there is over 50% error also I know that T1>T2 but mine numbers don't follow that scheme.
