Abstract
The first paper on this subject was by Waller1 in 1932. His calculations, appearing before any of the relaxation measurements of Gorter2 and his co-workers, involved both spin-spin and spinlattice interactions in paramagnetic salts. Waller considered that the mechanism by which the spin system relaxed to the lattice was essentially through modulation of the inter-ionic magnetic dipolar interaction, as a result of lattice vibrations. That is to say, the lattice vibrations only influenced a spin through the modulation of the spin-spin interaction. The predicted variations of T 1 with temperature were of the form later observed experimentally, but Waller’s calculated values of T 1 were several orders of magnitude greater than those measured later by Gorter.
