to the spread of values in each case and not to any possible instrun-<br />

ental error or error in processing the data. The measurements were<br />

recorded within a short space of time of each other and an accurate<br />

comparison of the Tlz values could be made. Although the error<br />

limits rule out any definite conclusion, the values quoted would<br />

seem to indicate that the pure filed powder (c) had a slightly<br />

shorter Tlz than that prepared by spraying pure wire. The short-<br />

est Tlz values occurred for the sample (b) considered to be the<br />

least pure of the three.<br />

7.5.2 DIPOLAR RELAXATION TIME (TID)<br />

The dipolar relaxation times of samples (a), (b) and (c)<br />

were measured with the Jeener and Brockaert pulse sequence (see<br />

Section 5.8) in identical conditions to those existing for the TlZ<br />

measurements. The results are included in Table 7.2 together with
