Abstract
We apply a fractal description of pore surface irregularity to study t he nuclear relaxation of a confined liquid. From the introduction of a length characteristic of diffusive and surface relaxing properties we describe three different relaxation regimes. These regimes show that the nuclear relaxation can be drastically modified by pore surface irr egularity. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Inc.
