Of particular interest are NMR 1\/T1 relaxation rates, which measure how fast energy stored in magnetic nuclei is transferred to surrounding electrons. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis thesis develops a detailed, quantitative theory of NMR 1\/T1 relaxation rates, and shows for the first time how they could be used to measure the speed at which energy travels in a wide range of magnetic materials.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis theory is used to make predictions for\"Quantum Spin Nematics\", an exotic form of quantum order analogous to a liquid crystal.  In order to do so, it is first necessary to unravel how spin nematics transport energy. This thesis proposes a new way to do this, based on the description of quarks in high-energy physics. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eExperiments to test the ideas presented are now underway in laboratories across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-08-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319004334\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-00434-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 165\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47668092731532,"sku":"9783319004334","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319004334.jpg?v=1776461602","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319004334","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
