Abstract

We derive an expression for the magnetization M(k,t) in a pulsed fiield gradient spin echo (PFGSE) experiment for spins diffusing in a restricted geometry with relaxation at the pore walls. Exact solutions for a slab, and simple considerations for a periodic pore geometry show that the normalized amplitude M(k,t,p)/M(0, t,p) depends only weakly on the surface relaxivity p for small p. This suggests a 'factorization' that for small p, Mp(k,t) ≈ Mp(0,t) Mp=0(k,t). This factorization is useful in understanding PFGSE experiments, because Mp=0(k,t) is theoretically simpler to analyze, and is related to the structure of the pore space. © 1992.
