Linewidth temperature relations, influence

The linewidth-temperature relation of the polyethylene oxide samples are given in Fig. 5. Despite the large differences in molecular weight, these samples have about the same linewidth, 300-350 Hz, in the crystalline state at 25°C. They all also possess a spherulitic type of morphology. The influence on the linewidth of the different types of supermolecular structures... 

At fast flow rates, the saturation of signals is avoided because spins leave the NMR active region, thus leading to an increase in S/N. The NMR linewidth is related to transverse relaxation time and, in a flow system, the linewidth is further influenced by the residence time. As a result, short residence times at fast flow rates yield broader NMR signals with low S/N. Ideally, detection of each analyte should be optimized using suitable acquisition parameters to obtain NMR spectra with comparable S/N. In addition, the overall temperature change in buffer by Joule heating may also contribute to linewidth increase [44],... 

Since the Mossbauer effect is intimately related to any motion of the emitting or absorbing nucleus on either a microscopic or macroscopic scale, Mossbauer spectroscopy provides a potential means by which information on nuclear dynamics, and hence on the dynamics of a system in which the Mossbauer nucleus acts as a probe, can be obtained. Any motion of the Mossbauer nucleus can influence the Mossbauer spectrum in two ways. Firstly, because this motion may be related to the vibrational properties of the system it can influence the recoil-free fraction and hence the absorption intensity of the spectrum itself. Since the absolute absorption intensity is dependent on a large number of other factors, which may be diflicult to determine accurately, any change in recoil-free fraction is most usefully followed as a function of temperature in order to obtain information on the vibrational properties of the system. The second way in which the effects of any motion of the Mossbauer nucleus in the source or absorber are manifested is in the Mossbauer spectroscopic linewidths, as this motion can be thought of as an additional Doppler motion which may partially smear out the resonant absorption. Since the linewidths are also...
