Experiments
Measurements of the spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame (T
lρ
) are possible
using the standard XPOLAR1 pulse sequence. Anytime that pcrho is set to a non-zero
value, a T
lρ
decay is introduced; thus, by setting pcrho to an array, T
lρ
is measured.
Typical values for pcrho would range from 50 to 5000
µs.
To analyze a T
lρ
experiment for the decay time constant, enter
analyze('expfit','pcrho','t2','list')
In experiments other than T
lρ
experiments, pcrho should be set to 0. Figure 14 shows the
spin-lattice relaxation measurement pulse sequence.
