N liquids the relaxation of the magnetic polarization of a system of equivalent nuclei can be described by two relaxation times T₁ and T2 introduced by Bloch. ¹ The longitudinal relaxation time T₁ characterizes the approach to equilibrium of the polarization component in the direction of the external magnetic field. The transverse relaxa-tion time T2 characterizes the rate at which the transverse component decays to zero, and determines the line width of the nuclear magnetic resonance. In liquids T2 can amount to many seconds, corresponding to a line width of a fraction of a cycle. Such long relaxation times cannot be determined by direct line-width measurement, as even in the best magnets the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field over the sample will give a very appreciable contribution to the observed line width.
