Application of a pseudo-one-dimensional kinetic Ising model to proton spin-lattice relaxation rates in squaric acid (H2C4O4)

Abstract
A kinetic model of three-dimensionally-coupled Ising chains is applied to study the proton spin-lattice relaxation rates in H2 C4 O4. Good agreement with the experimental proton spin-lattice relaxation rates implies the validity of the model in visualizing H2 C4 O4 as a quasi-one-dimensional solid.
