Notes:
The spin-lattice relaxation times, T1, in α-, β-, and amorphous Si3N4 have been obtained for the first time, using a multiple-pulse saturation recovery method. The saturation recovery of the 29Si magnetization follows exponential behavior under magic-angle spinning conditions, within the limits of experimental error. A rather wide dispersion of T1 values is observed for the phases of Si3N4: 284 ± 29 min (–46.686 ppm) and 260 ± 23 min (–48.812 ppm) for the α-phase, 36 ± 4 min for the β-phase, and 11 ± 1 min for the amorphous phase, assuming an exponential recovery. The values obtained for the exponent in the power-law fitting are 0.599(9) (–46.686 ppm) and 0.61(1) (–48.812 ppm) for the α-phase, 0.52(2) for the β-phase, and 0.53(3) for the amorphous phase.
