Spin–lattice relaxation

ID: spin-lattice-relaxation

Spin-lattice relaxation refers to the process by which nuclear spins in a material return to thermal equilibrium with their surrounding lattice after being disturbed, typically by an external magnetic field or radiofrequency pulse. This process is crucial in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as it affects the relaxation times and the overall dynamics of the spin system.
