Abstract
We calculate the correlation functions for a single specific particle and for a pair of specific particles in an ensemble of particles making nearest-neighbor simple jumps in a simple cubic lattice. These correlation functions can be used to obtain tracer correlation factors and NMR relaxation times due to motionally altered (unlike spin) or (like spin) dipolar interactions. In particular we calculate due to the dipolar interaction for various concentrations of particles as may be appropriate for some metal hydrides at different concentrations. Our results show that the calculated using the random-walk model is in error by more than 15% at low concentrations and by almost 100% at high concentrations.
