The nuclear magnetic resonance of the $^{23}Na$ nucleus in a $NaBrO_3$ single crystal was investigated at the temperature range of 200 K~410 K. The tendencies of temperature dependence of the nuclear quadrupole coupling for the two magnetically inequivalent Na(I) and Na(II) centers are found to be opposite to each other. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation mechanism of $^{23}Na$ in the $NaBrO_3$ crystal is investigated, and the result revealed that the Raman process is dominant in the temperature range investigated. The relaxation process of the $^{23}Na$ nuclear spins was well described by a single exponential function in time. The $T_1$ values of the $^{23}Na$ nuclei in the $NaBrO_3$ single crystal decreased with increasing temperature. The calculated activation energy for the $^{23}Na$ is $0.032{\pm}0.002eV$.

The structural properties and relaxation processes of $MCsSO_4$ (M = Na, K, or Rb) crystals were investigated by measuring the NMR spectra and spin-lattice relaxation rates $1/T_1$ of their $^{23}Na$, $^{39}K$, $^{87}Rb$, and $^{133}Cs$ nuclei. According to the NMR spectra, the $MCsSO_4$ crystals contain two crystallographically inequivalent sites each for the M and Cs ions. Further, the relaxation rates of all these nuclei do not change significantly over the investigated temperature range, indicating that no phase transitions occur in these crystals in this range. The variations in the $1/T_1$ values of the $^{23}Na$, $^{39}K$, $^{87}Rb$, and $^{133}Cs$ nuclei in these three crystals with increasing temperature are approximately proportional to $T^2$, indicating that Raman processes may be responsible for the relaxation. Therefore, for nuclear quadrupole relaxation of the $^{23}Na$, $^{39}K$, $^{87}Rb$, and $^{133}Cs$ nuclei, Raman processes with n = 2 are more effective than direct processes.

New results of dependence of magnetic field, trapped by a stack of HTS tapes, on amount of tapes in a stack are reported. Commercial GdBCO tape 12 mm width and without Cu layer was used for the research. Tape was divided in square pieces $12{\times}12mm^2$ from which stacks were formed. Filling factor of the tape was about 1.4%. Measurements were carried out for stacks with height from 5 to 250 pieces and at wide temperature range from liquid helium to liquid nitrogen. Both FC (field cooling) and ZFC (zero field cooling) cooling methods were used in the research. These two methods show matching results with good accuracy. As a result dependences of trapped magnetic flux on amount of tapes for different temperatures were received. Research shows, that with increasing height of the stack trapped magnetic field value reach saturation at about 60 tapes in a stack for low temperatures. From 60 to 100 tapes increase of magnet flux is only 5%. Thus increase amount of tapes in a stack is not profitable. Also investigation of trapped magnet field relaxation was carried out. Relaxation speed decreases with increasing amount of elements. It means that the higher the stack is, the longer trapped flux will be held in cause of the same temperature.

The phase transition temperatures and thermodynamic properties of $(NH_4)_2MnCl_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ grown by the slow evaporation method were studied using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. A structural phase transition occurred at temperature $T_{C1}$ (=264 K), whereas the changes at $T_{C2}$ (=460 K) and $T_{C3}$ (=475 K) seemed to be chemical changes caused by thermal decomposition. In addition, the chemical shift and the spin-lattice relaxation time $T_{1{\rho}}$ were investigated using $^1H$ magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR), in order to understand the role of $NH_4{^+}$ and $H_2O$. The rise in $T_{1{\rho}}$ with temperature was related to variations in the symmetry of the surrounding $H_2O$ and $NH_4{^+}$.

The $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ structure has been fluorinated by a gas phase exchange technique. The ${^19}F$NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T1) measurements on a fluorinated sample gave superconducting energy gap of $2\Delta=4.6kT_c$.

The spin-lattice relaxation times, $T_1$, and spin-spin relaxation times, $T_2$, of the $^{27}Al$ and $^{87}Rb$ nuclei in $RbAl(CrO_4)_2{\cdot}2H_2O$ crystals were investigated. The presence of only one resonance line for the $^{27}Al$ nuclei indicates that the results in a dynamical averaging of the crystal electric field that produces a cubic symmetry field. The changes in the temperature dependence of $T_1$ are related to variations in the symmetry of the octahedra of water molecules surrounding $Al^+$ and $Rb^+$. The $T_1$ values for the $^{27}Al$ and $^{87}Rb$ nuclei are different due to differences in the local environments of these ions. We also compared these $^{27}Al$ and $^{87}Rb$ NMR results with those obtained for $RbAl(CrO_4)_2{\cdot}2H_2O$ crystals. The relaxation mechanisms of $RbAl(XO_4)_2{\cdot}nH_2O$ (X=Cr and S) crystals are characterized by completely different NMR behaviors.

The NMR spectra of $Li_3Rb(SO_4)_2$ crystals and their relaxation processes were investigated by using $^7Li$ and $^{87}Rb$ NMR. The relaxation rates of the $^7Li$ and $^{87}Rb$ nuclei in the crystals were found to increase with increasing temperature, and can be described by the relation $T_1^{-1}{\propto}AT^2$. The dominant relaxation mechanism for these nuclei with electric quadrupole moments is provided by the coupling of these moments to the thermal fluctuations of the local electric field gradient via Raman spin-phonon processes.

In this exploration, the nuclear magnetic resonance of the $^{207}Pb$ nucleus in $PbWO_4:Mn^{2+}$ and $PbWO_4:Dy^{3+}$ Single Crystals using FT-NMR spectrometer is investigated. The line width of the resonance line for the $^{207}Pb$ nucleus decreases as temperature increases due to motional narrowing. The chemical shift of $^{207}Pb$ NMR spectra also increases as temperature decreases for both crystals. The spinlattice relaxation times $T_1$ of $^{39}K$ nucleus were calculated as a function of temperature (180 K~400 K). The $T_1$ of $^{207}Pb$ nucleus decreases as temperature increases. The dominant relaxation mechanism at the studied temperature range can be deduced as the Raman process, which is the coupling between lattice vibrations and the nuclear spins. This deduction is substantiated by the fact that the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ of the $^{207}Pb$ nucleus in $PbWO_4:Mn^{2+}$ and $PbWO_4:Dy^{3+}$ single crystal is proportional to $T^2$, or temperature squared. The activation energies for the $^{207}Pb$ nucleus in $PbWO_4:Mn^{2+}$ and $PbWO_4:Dy^{3+}$ single crystals are $E_a=49{\pm}1meV$ and $E_a=47{\pm}2meV$, respectively.

We have studied the room temperature $^{1}H$ nuclear magnetic relaxation in anisotropic antiferromagnet $MnCl_{2}.4H_{2}O$ using a wide range of $^{1}H$ NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) field. Being a system of dense paramagnetic $Mn^{++}$ ions at room temperature, $MnCl_{2}.4H_{2}O$ shows some features that can be expected from dilute paramagnetic systems, as well as some results that drastically deviate from the dilute paramagnetic approximations. Besides, $^{1}H$ nuclei exhibit an anomalous deviation in the spin-lattice relaxation time ($T_{1}$) around the field of 0.7 T.

$^1H$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxations have been investigated in ammonium sulfate $((NH_4)_2SO_4)$ power at temperatures ranging form 102 K to 440 K. There is a bottleneck in the spin-lattice relaxation between the nuclear spin system and the hindered rotation of ammonium ions, which is certified by measuring the relaxation according to the initial condition of the spin system. For temperatures below 318 K the $^1H$ spin-lattice relaxations have double-exponential behaviors with the exponent, n, having a value 2>n>1 initially and n=l after a long time. Above 318 K not only is the relaxation exponential initially with exponent n=1, but it is a single-exponential over the entire time, resulting in one $T_1$ value. The two types of $NH_4^+$ ions have different activation energies for hindered rotation, $E_a^1=0.27{\pm}0.02eV$ and $E_a^11=0.12{\pm}0.0eV$, in the ferroelectric phase.
