โฆ Synopsis
High-precision measurements of "H spin-lattice relaxation on several molecular glass-forming liquids have been performed. As a general feature the following can be stated: At temperatures more than ten to twenty degrees above the calorimetric glass transition temperature r, the *H spin-lattice relaxation is exponential; below that temperature regime the relaxation is nonexponential. This crossover from exponential to nonexponential magnetization recovery implies that no common spin temperature caused by spin diffusion exists in a 2H glass. This contrasts 'H spin-lattice relaxation which is found to be strictly monoexponential throughout. The occurrence of nonexponential *H relaxation serves as a new observable at the glass transition, being a signature of the crossover from ergodic to nonergodic behaviour.

It is shown that the spm-spin and spin-lattice relaxation rates in the lowest triplet state of aniline in a p-xylene host crystal are determmed by the presence of a close-lying local phonon state. It is concluded that the motion of the aniline molecule has a highly localised character.
