Solution of the Bloch Equations for Determination of Relaxation Times in Liquids

Abstract
A solution of the Bloch differential equations is given in which both audio modulation and linear variation of the external magnetic field are explicitly included. For the case of T1 approximately equal to T2 and (γH1)2T1T2»1, the solution assumes a simple form which agrees well with experiment. T1 can be determined by comparison of the predicted line shapes with those obtained experimentally.
