The spin-lattice relaxation time T/sub i/ of Xe/sup 129/ was measured as a function of temperature in the liquid and as a function of pressure in the gas. A strong shift DELTA H in the external field required for resonance at constant frequency but varying sample density p was discovered. As the sample density increases in the region above 48 atm, DELTA H decreases linearly at the rate of 3.45 milligauss per amagat (density at standard conditions) in a field of 8060 gauss. In the liquid the temperature dependence of the product of UPSILON /sub 1/ and p can be described by an activation energy of 0.7 plus or minus 0.1 kcal/ mole. In the gas at room temperature and 48 to 73 atm, UPSILON /sub 1/ varies as p/sup -2.//sup 1 s/sup 0.4/. The largest value of UPSILON /sub 1/ ob served was 2600 plus or minus 600 sec for a gas sample at 48 atm, and the shortest value was 57 plus or minus 2 sec in liquid at -101 deg C. The experimental values of UPSILON /sub 1/ were compared with theoretical predictions in two limiting cases, the rare gas and the dense liquid. In both casesmore » the experimental values, although larger than previously reported values, are still two to three orders of magnitude smaller than predicted from an intermolecular nuclear magnetic dipole interaction. The relaxation time was found to be independent of field. Implications of the data for determining the relaxation mechanism are discussed. It is suggested that the relaxation may be caused by a fluctuating magnetic field at the nucleus resulting from the motion of nonsymmetrical electronic charge distributions during collisions.
