摘要
The access to self-diffusion coefficients in anisotropic systems such as thermotropic liquid crystals by means of PFG NMR is complicated by strong dipolar interactions. Additionally, problems arise due to the immediate orientation of low-molar-mass nematic liquid crystals in an external field. The director orientation can be changed by the application of an additional electric field. This can be exploited in order to reduce the dipolar interaction to such an extent that the NMR linewidths change from a solid-state to a liquid-like situation enabling PFG NMR experiments.
