Abstract

Nuclear magnetic relaxation rates are measured as a function of magnetic field strength corresponding to proton Larmor frequencies ranging from 0.01 to 42 MHz for silica gel samples with a nitroxide free radical covalently attached at the surface. The field dependence of the relaxation rate is interpreted using a translational model for the relaxation equation to yield a translational diffusion coefficient for the water, in the immediate vicinity of the radical attached to the surface, of 2.1 × 10-6 cm2 s-1 at 278 K for Si-4000 silica.
