Nuclear relaxation in a nematic liquid crystal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the contributions to T1 and T2 in a nematic liquid crystal arising from the fluctuations in the orientational order, which results in relaxation times of the order of one second which is typical of ordinary liquids.
