Preferred Label : relaxation time;
IUPAC definition : in a chemical reaction, the time, t, in which a concentration perturbation falls to
1eof its initial value.; in magnetic resonance spectroscopy the longitudinal relaxation time, t1, is associated
with spin-lattice relaxation, and the transverse relaxation time, t2, with spin-spin
relaxation. the definitions are: mz t mz mz,e t1 and mx
t mx t2 ,where mzand mxare the components of magnetization parallel
and perpendicular to the static field b and the subscript e denotes the equilibrium
value.;
