Dynamical structure of AgxCu1-xI (x=0.99–0.80) in ionic and superionic phases studied by solid 63Cu and 127I NMR spin–lattice relaxation time measurements
“…The most likely interpretation of the thermally activated mechanism is that it is associated with modulation of electric field gradients due to the hopping of iodine atoms throughout the lattice. A combination of these two relaxation mechanisms has been previously reported for 127 I relaxation in Ag x Cu 1– x I. , By this model, the van Kranendonk mechanism is approximately 100 times more efficient for 127 I in PbI 2 than it is for the Ag x Cu 1– x I compounds, and the activation energy for the thermally activated process in PbI 2 is substantially lower than for Ag x Cu 1– x I, indicating a difference in the effectiveness of the two relaxation mechanisms in the two materials.…”
Lead iodide is a layered structure that experiences polytypism. The 2H polytype contains high rates of iodine vacancies but retains its stoichiometry. This characteristic feature makes it potentially useful for many practical applications. The hopping of iodine ions among vacancies is the dominant motion in the 2H polytype. We present a preliminary 127 I and 207 Pb solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and spin−lattice relaxation study of the 2H polytype below 400 K. We present reasonable models for the solid-state NMR results in terms of the effects of iodine hopping and lattice vibrations.

“…Therefore, the activation energy inferred from spin relaxation as shown in Fig. 4 is often significantly lower (though never higher) 66–74 than that inferred from the temperature dependence of the self-diffusion coefficient or ionic conductivity. For LiC 6 , the difference between these two activation energies was roughly a factor of 2.…”
We investigate hard carbon fibers at different states of charge by a combination of 7Li-NMR and 2D-XRD. In particular, we record the quadrupole-split 7Li-NMR spectra and 7Li longitudinal relaxation over...
“…T 1 measurements of the sodium resonance in sodium orthophosphate and solids solutions of it with added sulfate are interpreted in terms of correlated anion reorientation and cation diffusion (69). Relaxation of 63 Cu and 127 I centers in ionic and superionic conductors appears to be due to thermally generated defects, whose energy of activation for diffusion and enthalpy of formation were determined from the NMR properties (70).…”
