New technique for single-scan T1 measurements using solid echoes

Abstract
A simple technique for single-scan T(1) measurements in solids is proposed and analyzed for single exponential spin-lattice relaxation. In this technique, the direct spin heating caused by the sampling process is significantly reduced in comparison with conventional techniques by utilizing the ''solid echo'' to refocus the magnetization. The applicability of this technique to both the solid and liquid phases is demonstrated.
