Spin diffusion in multiple pulse spin-locking in solids containing paramagnetic impurities

Spin diffusion and spin-lattice relaxation in solids containing paramagnetic impurities under influence of a multiple-pulse spin-locking radio-frequency sequence are studied theoretically and experimentally. The diffusion equation obtained provides a clue for determination of the time dependent magnetization. The spin-lattice relaxation time is calculated as a function of the correlation time and multiple-pulse field parameters. From the experimental data the spin diffusion coefficient, the radius of the spin diffusion barrier, and the correlation time for very slow molecular motion in polycrystalline (C2F)n system are estimated and found to be D∼7.1×10−12cm2/s, rc∼4.8×10−10m, and τc∼10.2μs, respectively.
