Ailion, David Charles | Effect of the translational diffusion mechanism on the low-field NMR spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating reference frame: calculation of order parameter | The effect of the translational-diffusion mechanism on the low-field NMR spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating reference frame is calculated for simple cubic, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic lattices. The results of these calculations suggest a new method for determining the pref... | NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Lattices; Relaxation time | 1968 |

Ailion, David Charles | Evidence for elastic disorder in the elastically ordered phase of KCN | We have obtained evidence from 1 3C NMR measurements that the CN~ ion in the elastically ordered phase of KCN is misoriented slightly with respect to the orthorhombic b axis. This misorientation varies randomly over the lattice, averaging to zero on a macroscopic scale. The misorientations are mani... | Potassium cyanide; Anisotropy; Orthorhombic crystal; NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance | 1981 |

Ailion, David Charles | Nature of Ag+ self-diffusion in AgF | Measurements of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) dipolar relaxation times T w and T i (51°) have been made on the 1 9 F resonance in AgF powder over the temperature range 60-300 K. Also the technique of Stokes and Ailion for detecting the diffusion of weakly magnetic spins has been verified f... | NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Diffusion; Ionic conductivity | 1981 |

Ailion, David Charles | New NMR techniques to study diffusion in multispin crystals | We present a new NMR method for studying slow diffusion in multispin systems. With this method we can vary the effect of a particular spin species' motion relative to the others, thus enabling us to separate and identify the component motions. We present a new pulse sequence for measuring T1L', a ge... | NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Crystals; Nuclear-spin species; Diffusion; Molecular rotations | 1977 |

Ailion, David Charles | NMR determination of structural domains in NaCN | Measurements of the first- and second-order quadrupole energy-level shifts are performed in a 23Na NMR experiment in a single crystal of NaCN. Twelve orthorhombic domains are found below the phase transition at 15°C. They consist of six pairs of domains with each one oriented by an angle 2/3 rel... | NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Crystals; Structural domains | 1980 |

Ailion, David Charles | NMR in lithium metal: thermal mixing | We present a calculation of the thermal mixing rate t~ 1 between nuclear Zeeman and dipolar reservoirs in the presence of large rf fields. We applied this calculation to slow-motion diffusion in lithium metal. In particular, we measured the rotating frame spin-lattice relaxation time Tl p as a funct... | NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Lattices; Relaxation time | 1977 |

Ailion, David Charles | NMR lineshapes and order parameter determination in proton pseudo-spin glasses | The quadrupole-perturbed NMR line shape has been evaluated in the local approximation for an arbitrary static random-field distribution coexisting with Gaussian time-fluctuating random fields. The special case of a spin-glass-type static local random-field distribution is treated also. The results ... | NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Line shape; Random fields; Proton pseudo-spin-glasses | 1988 |

Ailion, David Charles | NMR methods for identifying and studying diffusion of different spin species in heteronuclear systems | We introduce a new dipolar relaxation lime TU)' which characterizes the spin-lattice relaxation of secular dipolar interactions in the presence of a large rf field. Measurements of T]D' are particularly useful for studying slow atomic motions in muitispin systems, since such measurements enable us ... | NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Nuclear-spin species; Diffusion; Molecular rotations | 1978 |

Ailion, David Charles | NMR observations of molecular motions and Zeeman-quadrupole cross relaxation in 1,2- difluorotetrachloroethane | We report measurements of "F NMR relaxation times Tu Tlf, TID, and T2 in the plastic crystal CFCL2-CFCL2 . From the data near the melting point, we obtain the jump time for translational selfdiffusion. At lower temperatures, we observe on the cold side of the T, and Tif minima an unusual field depe... | NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Order-disorder; Diffusion | 1979 |

Ailion, David Charles | NMR relaxation study of molecular motions between unequal potential wells in solid trans, trans- muconodinitrile | We report observations of extremely unusual proton NMR relaxation rates in solid trans, transmuconodinitrile (TMD, N=C-CH = CH-CH = CH-C = N). In particular we measured, over the temperature range 77-423 °K, proton dipolar relaxation times Tw and spin lattice relaxation times Tt (at 24 and 58 MH... | NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Lattices; Relaxation time | 1977 |

Ailion, David Charles | Nuclear magnetic resonance in LiF: a single nuclear-dipolar-spin temperature in crystals with more than one spin species | In a crystal containing more than one species of nuclear spin in a large dc magnetic field, the secular dipolar interactions between all spins, unlike as well as like, form a single reservoir described by a single spin temperature. We demonstrated this concept with experiments on LiF. In particula... | Spin species; Spin-lattice relaxation; NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance | 1977 |

Ailion, David Charles | Nuclear magnetic resonance in random fields: cluster formation and local dynamics of a deuteron glass | NMR data show that the deuteron "pseudo spin-glass" transition in Rbi- X(ND4)*D2P04 is not just a simple kinetic slowing down process but is characterized by a gradual condensation of randomly polarized clusters as expected if we deal with a percolation transition in eigenstate space. The results pr... | NMR; Nuclear magnetic resonance; Random fields; Spin lattice | 1986 |
