1 Ailion, David CharlesCommensurability and defect-induced phason gaps in incommensurate systemsThe phason energy gap has been observed to increase on going from the incommensurate to higher-order commensurate phases in the "devil's staircase" compound [N(CH3)4]2ZnCl4. The gap was determined via the phason-induced 1 4N spin-lattice relaxation contribution, which was obtained from the variati...Phasons; Commensurate; Incommensurate; Lattices; Modulation1985
2 Ailion, David CharlesEffect of the translational diffusion mechanism on the low-field NMR spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating reference frame: calculation of order parameterThe 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 time1968
3 Ailion, David CharlesFloating of the modulation wave and phase pinning in incommensurate Rb2ZnBr4Nuclear-magnetic-resonance measurements in incommensurate Rb2ZnBr4 show the existence of regions where the modulation wave is floating. The floating regions coexist with other regions where the modulation wave is static. Impurity phase pinning and a roughening of the modulation wave at higher temper...Floating; Incommensurate phase; Phason mode; Lattices1983
4 Miller, Joel StevenMagnetically ordered molecule-based assembliesThe development of molecules and assemblies of molecules exhibiting technologically important bulk properties, such as magnetic ordering, is an important worldwide research focus. Organic- and molecule-based magnets have been discovered and several families have been reported with magnetic orderin...Organic-based; Lattices; Magnets2006
5 Ailion, David CharlesNMR in lithium metal: thermal mixingWe 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 time1977
6 Ailion, David CharlesNMR relaxation study of molecular motions between unequal potential wells in solid trans, trans- muconodinitrileWe 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 time1977
7 Mattis, Daniel C.Theory of glass dynamics: the low-lying modes of anharmonic materialsWe study the lowest-lying excited states of arbitrary anharmonic solids (crystalline, glassy, or amorphous). Defining the harmonic ("skeleton") lattice underlying any such anharmonic medium, we find that its spectrum of elementary excitations provides a rigorous upper bound to that of the anharmonic...Spectrum; Arbitrary; Lattices1987
