  Spin Lattice Relaxation Time (T1)
The relaxation process is induced by field fluctuation due to molecular motion.
This relaxation mechanism is particularly important for molecules containing protons (high natural abundance nuclei equipped with a large magnetogyric ratio).
CSA is an important relaxation mechanism for nuclei with large chemical shift scale as for example on Phosphorus-31 and on Cadmium-113.

  Relaxation time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Relaxation time is a general physics concept for the characteristic time in which a system relaxes under certain changes in external conditions.
The relaxation time is related to the velocity of a body (typically a star) and the perturbation rate.
The relaxation time is similar to the ratio of the velocity to the time derivative of the perturbation.

Relaxation is a summation of processes by which magnetization decays over time, thus limiting the useful time of observation after exciting with an RF pulse.
Because each nucleus has a characteristic relaxation time that governs loss of signal while at that nucleus, the relaxation times have to be long enough to allow the pulse sequences to complete and generate a useful signal.
N relaxation time are understood and can be related to the overall rotational correlation time of the protein (tumbling rate), as well as a component due to internal flexibility of individual segments of the polypetide chain.

 Dielectric Relaxation Time, a Non-linear Function of Solvent Viscosity by M D Magee.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Overall, macroscopic viscosity is discredited as a pointer to the behaviour of relaxation times.
Under certain conditions, the separate relaxation regions of the components of a binary mixture of polar liquids coalesce into a single region, even when the separate relaxation times are sufficiently far apart to yield bimodal absorption The tentative explanation is that the volume undergoing relaxation contains at least four, and perhaps many more molecules.
When the relaxing region is sufficiently large that its composition is that of the bulk liquid, then a single absorption is obtained, otherwise separate relaxation peaks occur.

The crossing time is the typical time required for a star in the cluster to travel the characteristic size R of the cluster (typically taken to be the half-mass radius).
The relaxation time is the typical time for gravitational interactions with other stars in the cluster to remove the history of a star's original velocity.
Since the relaxation time is related to the number and strength of the gravitational encounters of a typical cluster star, it is related to the number of stars in the cluster and the average energy of the stars in the cluster.

 Relaxation-Related MRI Contrast
Relaxation refers to the process to allow for the spin population to return to equilibrium.
The spin-lattice relaxation time, T1, is in essence the time taken by the hydrogen protons, following a RF perturbation, to align themselves with the applied magnetic field.
The time for the spins to become out of phase with each other is measured in T2 and is affected by the magnetic fluctuations as well as local magnetic environment whose magnetic state lifetime is uncertain.

An NMR spectrometer was used to study relationship between NMR relaxation time and temperature, viscosity, diffusivity and gas/oil ratio of methane-hydrocarbon mixtures.
The log mean relaxation times were plotted against viscosity/temperature and it was found that unlike stock tank oils, they do not depend linearly on viscosity/temperature on a log-log scale.
The relationship between diffusion coefficients and relaxation times were studied, and it was found that diffusion coefficients depend linearly on T1 for pure hydrocarbons, but the dependence does not hold for methane-hydrocarbon mixtures.

 Beyond the Basics: Time Affects Stress Relaxation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The total amount of stress relaxation that occurred is the same as would have occurred had the original deflection been maintained for the summation of the two times stressed.
For a contact spring that experiences a stress relaxation of 30% in 5 years, that same loss occurs in 15 years when the contact is only stressed 1/3 of the time.
Thus, for stress relaxation purposes, the critical time in contact design is the total time under load (not necessarily the design life of the connector).

During the relaxation time, we extract from the source only a flow of VPF, which is continually replaced in the source by the vacuum's violent VPF exchange with the source's bipolarity charges.
Relaxation Time: The time it takes for the free electrons in a conductor (or material) to reach the skin of the wire after potential is applied, is, of course, called the relaxation time.
In any given time interval, the energy taken (scattered) from the system as external work cannot exceed the sum of the unscattered trapped energy that was in the system initially and the unscattered energy that flowed into the system during that time interval.

 Hairfacts: van Gemert, 1996 (thermal relaxation time)
The result is a double integral over the coupled distributions of the two time constants to compute the temperature rise as a function of time and of axial and radial positions.
The distribution of axial time constants is a homogeneous slowly decreasing function of spatial frequency (v) indicating that one single axial time constant cannot reasonably characterize axial heat conduction.
The distribution of radial time constants is a function centred around a distinguished maximum in the spatial frequency (lambda) close to the single radial time constant value used previously.

 Appendix 8: Relaxation Time and Singular Dynamic Scaling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Relaxation rates may be measured by changing the temperature or some other parameter, and then monitoring the rate at which a system relaxes toward equilibrium.
At the critical temperature various properties (e.g., magnetic susceptibility) are found to vary as a power of the difference of the temperature from the critical temperature, so that these properties diverge or vanish at the critical point.
The exponent which describes the behaviour of the relaxation time in the vicinity of the critical temperature is called "the dynamic critical exponent".

T1 Relaxation Time (also called longitudinal relaxation time, or spin-lattice relaxation time)--T1 is a "time constant" that describes the rate at which Mz returns to M0.
T2 Relaxation Time (also called transverse relaxation time, or spin-spin relaxation time)--T2 is a "time constant" that describes the rate at which the net magnetization vector decays in the xy (transvers) plane due to dephasing from spin-spin interactions.
The relaxation time T2* is shorter than T2 because of the spins dephasing after the 90-degree flip.

 Sequential changes in MR water proton relaxation time detect the process of rat brain myelination during maturation.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Changes in relaxation time (water proton longitudinal relaxation time by the inversion recovery, and water proton transverse relaxation time by the spin echo and the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill pulse sequence (CPMG)) and water content were then determined for various stages of brain development.
During maturation both water proton longitudinal relaxation time and water proton transverse relaxation time values decreased and this finding paralleled the decline in water content.
Water proton relaxation time, which can be estimated using the CPMG pulse sequence, showed a close correlation with myelination in the central nervous system.

 Findings conclude sustained caffeine intake negates the benefits of creatine supplements
This shortened time, coupled with a creatine loaded muscle facilitates calcium absorption into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (the endoplasmic reticulum of skeletal and cardiac muscle).
This has lead a research team from Belgium to suggest that the combined effects of creatine and caffeine supplementation may be counterproductive to creatine’s effect on muscle relaxation time.
The authors of the study, "Opposite Actions of Caffeine and Creatine on Muscle Relaxation Time in Humans" are P. Hespel, B. Op 'T Eijnde, and M. Van Leemputte, all from the Department of Kinesiology, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.

Macroscopically, T1 relaxation is characterized by the longitudinal return of the net magnetization to its ground state of maximum length in the direction of the main magnetic field.
The T1 relaxation time is the time for the magnetization to return to 63% of its original length.
T1 relaxation is fastest when the motion of the nucleus (rotations and translations or "tumbling rate") matches that of the Larmor frequency.

 PASPS III Conference: Conference Session
The relaxation time, tau, can be determined from the exponential decay of n_t, an average number of tunneling electrons per one pulse cycle, as a function of wait time, t_h, during which an electron is allowed to relax from the excited state to the ground state.
We are able to curve-fit this Gamma dependence of tau by 1/tau=1/tau_so+1/tau_cot, where tau_so is the Gamma?independent spin-orbit relaxation time and tau_cot is the cotunneling relaxation time which is inversely proportional to Gamma^2.
The above experimental finding that the relaxation is actually described by two exponential components is consistent with the relaxation by spin-orbit interaction; faster component corresponds to allowed transition (S_Z =+1 and -1) and slower one corresponds to forbidden transition (S_Z =0) slowly decaying by suppressed cotunneling.

 Transient Postseismic Relaxation With Burger's Body Viscoelasticity
To model the difference in short and long time decay rates, the Maxwell element is sometimes modified to have a non-linear rheology, which results in a lower effective viscosity immediately after the rupture, evolving to a higher effective viscosity as the co-seismic stresses relax.
Both a short-term transient response and long-term steady creep are exhibited by a Burger's body, a Maxwell element (a spring in series with a viscous dash-pot) in series with a Voigt element (a spring in parallel with a viscous dash-pot).
Whereas, for a Maxwell rheology, the initial relaxation time is given by $\tau = \eta_{\mathrm{Maxwell}}/G_{\mathrm{Maxwell}}$.

 Incompressible limits of lattice Boltzmann equations using multiple relaxation times   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The additional relaxation times may be adjusted to suppress non-hydrodynamic modes that do not appear directly in the continuum equations, but may contribute to instabilities on the grid scale.
If these relaxation times are fixed in lattice units, as in previous work, solutions computed on a given lattice are found to diverge in the incompressible (small Mach number) limit.
An incompressible limit does exist if the non-hydrodynamic relaxation times are not fixed, but scaled by the Mach number in the same way as the hydrodynamic relaxation time that determines the viscosity.
