Abstract
It is well known that nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time (T 1) studies may provide valuable information on the dynamics of liquid crystals [1–6]. The onset of long range orientational order, on going from the isotropic liquid (I) into the nematic (N) phase and the occurrence of one or more dimensional translational ordering, on going from the nematic into the various smectic (Sm) liquid crystalline phases, may have profound effects on T 1. In the general case we may expect several competing relaxation mechanisms.
Presented at the NMR Summer School, Waterloo, June 22–28, 1975.
