Abstract
The spin–lattice relaxation time has been calculated for dipolar solids when the spins are locked by an rf pulse sequence with pulses of arbitrary angle and finite width. Expressions are given for the homonuclear case in general and for the heteronuclear case in the δ‐function limit. The results for the homonuclear case are experimentally confirmed using solid C6F12. The analysis shows that for small pulse angles, at which the direct spin heating effect is known to be small, the relaxation behavior will be identical to the cw irradiation case.
