Abstract

A method, different from the classical ones, for studying internal motions - in particular reorientational and tunneling modulation of rotations - via NMR is described. Instead of looking for matching or resonance maxima in NMR T1−1 vs. T - curves [ where o (↗)≅ωo,with ρ the correlation rate and ωo: the Larmor frequency] we look for such maxima in NMR T1−1 vs. ωo - curves [where ω =↗o, with ω: the (tunneling)frequency]. These method, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxation Resonance (NMRRR), has marked advantages, which are discussed. A field cycling technique is presented. Typical results, for solid silane, are given.
