Abstract:
The linear dielectric response of an assembly of noninteracting symmetrical top molecules (each of which is free to rotate in space) is evaluated in the context of fractional dynamics. The infinite hierarchy of differential-recurrence relations for the relaxation functions appropriate to the dielectric response is derived by using the underlying inertial fractional Klein-Kramers equation. On solving this hierarchy in terms of matrix continued fractions (as in the normal rotational diffusion), the complex dynamic susceptibility is obtained and is calculated for typical values of the model parameters. For the limiting case of spherical top molecules, the solution is obtained in terms of an ordinary continued fraction. It is shown that the model can reproduce nonexponential anomalous dielectric relaxation behavior at low frequencies (omegatau

In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers energy to a nearby...
