Abstract
<jats:p>The spin-lattice relaxation time T1 of simple organic glass formers is analyzed by introducing a spectral density obtained from broadband dielectric susceptibility data χ″(ω). For this purpose χ″(ω) was measured for several glass formers, that do not exhibit a Johari-type secondary relaxation process, covering a frequency range between 10−2 Hz and 109 Hz at temperatures above and below the glass transition temperature Tg. We introduce an analytical function to fit the shape of the main relaxation (α-process) above Tg, in particular taking into account high-frequency contributions in χ″(ω) commonly known as high-frequency wing. Below Tg the latter feature appears as a power law susceptibility χ″(ω)∝ω−γ, with γ&amp;lt;0.1 and a characteristic temperature dependence χ″(T)∝exp(T/const.), yielding almost 1/ω behavior in the spectral density. On the base of this complete description of χ″(ω), a quantitative comparison of dielectric and NMR spectroscopy is possible, which is carried out in full detail for glycerol-d3 (2H-NMR), yielding almost identical spectral densities at the Larmor frequency in both cases. In particular the temperature dependence of the high-frequency wing reappears in that of the spin lattice relaxation rate. In addition a semiquantitative analysis is given for trinaphthyl benzene (1H-NMR) and tricresyl phosphate (31P-NMR).</jats:p>
