Effect of dispersion on the relaxation-retardation time scale ratio
1Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Arizona State University, Tempe, 85287-1604, USA.
Abstract:
A simple relation between relaxation (modulus) and retardation (permittivity and compliance) times is determined for cases of dispersive instead of purely exponential response functions. An analytical solution for the Cole-Cole case and numerical treatments of the Cole-Davidson function reveal that the ratio of the relaxation- to retardation time constant is given by the ratio of the high- to low-frequency dielectric constant raised to the power of 1x, where x is the exponent that gauges the deviation from exponentiality.

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...
