Nuclear Spin Relaxation in Liquids clarifies the nature of the phenomenon, shows how to study it, and explains why such studies are worthwhile.

Features:

• Provides a detailed survey of spin relaxation theory, experimental techniques, and illustrative applications
• Focuses on the physical nature of spin relaxation phenomena rather than on their intricacies
• Avoids rigorous mathematics where possible and requires only an understanding of the basics of NMR
• Contains many original illustrations along with references to further sources of information
