Abstract
The transverse (T-2) and longitudinal (T-1) proton magnetic relaxation times and the self-diffusion coefficients D of the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) molecules in aerosil mixtures with different specific surface area were measured at different temperatures and liquid contents. The large difference between the times T-1 and T-2 in the systems examined is explained by the hypothesis that the molecules adsorbed on the sol id surface (especially in micropores) lose some translational degrees of freedom. At high temperatures, the translational displacement of DM SO molecules is determined by the relative time of their residence in the vapor phase. In contrast, it is the surface diffusion that determi nes this displacement at low temperatures, when the lifetimes of the a dsorbed molecules are longer than the times of the measurement of the self-diffusion coefficient.
