Diffusivity and Nuclear Spin Relaxation Measurements at High Pressure in Methanol

Abstract

Diffusivity D and nuclear spin relaxation times T1 and T2 have been measured by NMR to 4.0 GPa in methanol, using a diamond anvil cell probe. In pure MeOH, D-1 and T2 show essentially identical activation volumes. However, these are ∼18% larger than the activation volume of viscosity. By relating these observations to an average molecular correlation time a pressure-dependent infinite-frequency shear modulus G(in∞} can be inferred, using two independent approaches. The relation between diffusivity and viscosity shows increasing departure from Stokes-Einstein behavior with increasing pressure, if a constant hydrodynamic radius is assumed. This departure is attributed to the pressure dependence of G, and can be described empirically by a simple modification of the Stokes-Einstein relation.
