Abstract

Proton spin-lattice relaxation time T1 was measured at 19.5 MHz of p-terphenyl in the vicinity of its solid-solid phase transition point. A sharp decrease in T1 was observed near the transition point and was attributed to the critical fluctuation associated with the phase transition. The T1 was interpreted successfully in terms of the order-disorder mechanism by which the central phenylene ring jumps between two stable sites in a double minimum potential well and its motion undergoes a critical slowing down in the phase transition region. The possibility of displacive phase transition was also discussed.
