<Hugh Stott Taylor> coauthored measurements of <hydrogen> spin-isomer conversion at paramagnetic and diamagnetic surfaces. <Ortho-para conversion> changes nuclear-spin and rotational populations without changing the <molecule>'s elemental composition.
A surface can provide a conversion pathway that is slow in the isolated gas. The resulting time-dependent composition matters when interpreting the <heat capacity> or cooling of <hydrogen>.<The Spin-Isomerization of Hydrogen at Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic Surfaces by Hugh Stott Taylor and H. Diamond>[1935, surface-dependent spin-isomerization]{ref}
