Some aspects of nuclear spin relaxation for dilute polyatomic gases

The density dependence of nuclear spin relaxation in polyatomic gases is studied theoretically. In particular, the experimentally observed non-linear dependence of T₁ on density at high density is explained. A quantum mechanical Boltzmann equation is used to formulate the theory. The particular Bol...
