A modulation technique for direct measurement of extremely fast electron spin−lattice relaxation is described. The method is based on longitudinal magnetization detection. It is applied here to study the spin−lattice relaxation times T 1e in aqueous solutions of perdeuterated nitroxide radical ( T 1e ≈ 200 ns) with various concentrations as well as to two Gd DOTA complexes ( T 1e ≈ 1.8−3.2 ns), which can be employed as paramagnetic contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging.
