Description

Spin-lattice relaxation times have been measured for the fluorine nuclei in gaseous WF6, MoF6 and UF6 as a function of temperature in the dilute gas region. The measured temperature dependences are as predicted for relaxation resulting from a spin-rotation interaction. Effective cross sections for the transfer of angular momentum to molecular rotation during collisions are deduced. (author)
