ANISOTROPIC NUCLEAR SPIN-LATTICE RELAXATION IN A NEMATIC-LIQUID CRYSTAL

Abstract
The proton spin‐lattice relaxation time T1 of p‐methoxybenzilidene‐p′‐cyanoanaline has been studied as a function of molecular alignment in a dc electric field. The experimental results clearly show a large anisotropy in T1 for the benzene‐ring protons as well as an isotropic spin‐lattice relaxation time associated with the remaining protons. These results are in agreement with the most recent theoretical descriptions.
