Abstract: | Four theoretical and computational approaches used at the University of Michigan to analyze NMR paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (NMR-PRE) are described. The primary objective of the theory is to describe the relationship of the NMR-PRE phenomenon to the electron spin hamiltonian and the spin energy level structure when zero field splitting interactions are significant. Four formulations of theory are discussed: (1) spin dynamics simulation; (2) the laboratory frame "constant H(S)" formulation; (3) the Molecular Frame "constant H(S)" formulation; and (4) the zfs-limit "constant H(S)" formulation. No single theoretical approach describes all important aspects of the relaxation mechanism in a fully satisfactory way. We use the four formulations in a complementary manner to provide as complete a picture of the relaxation mechanism as possible. We also discuss the integration of NMR-PRE theory and recently developed theory of electron spin relaxation which accounts for effects of the permanent zfs hamiltonian. |
