ABSTRACT
Deuteron spin-lattice relaxation was applied to study translational and rotational mobility of CD4 molecules trapped in the cages of zeolites. Tetrahedral methane molecules are treated as quantum rotators. Relaxation rates related to the intraquadrupole interaction are derived for the T and A+E symmetry species in the presence of large tunneling splittings, consistently with the assumption that A and E species molecules relax at the same rate. An exchange model is presented, which describes the effect on relaxation of CD4 jumping between two positions characterized by different potentials. While staying at either position bonded to an atom or ion at the cage wall, the molecule has some freedom to move in the vicinity. This causes a time-dependent external electric field gradient, which contributes to the deuteron relaxation rate via the electric quadrupole interaction. Spin conversion transitions couple the relaxation of magnetizations MT and MAE, which is taken into account by reapplying the presented model under somewhat different conditions. Such a two-step procedure leads to successful fits with the experimental results obtained in the range of temperatures roughly 20â€“200 K for zeolites HY, NaA, and NaMordenite. At higher temperatures CD4 molecules fly freely across zeolite cages and relaxation changes accordingly, while incoherent tunneling dominates for immobile molecules below 20 K.
