Abstract:
In this paper the investigation of the dynamical processes of liquid alkali metals is executed by analyzing the time scales of relaxation processes in liquids. The obtained theoretical dynamic structure factor S(k,omega) for the case of liquid lithium is found to be in excellent agreement with the recently received inelastic x-ray scattering data. The comparison and interrelation with other theories are given here. Finally, an important part of this paper is the confirmation of the scale uniformity of the dynamic processes in liquid alkali metals predicted by some previous molecular dynamic simulation studies.

Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation
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...
