Abstract

We consider the relaxation time of the NMR line of protons in NH4Cl, near the ordering transition. We show that because of the symmetry of the system, the major contribution to the random fluctuations responsible for the relaxation are due to motions that are not critically slowed. As a consequence we expect the singular behavior of the relaxation rate to be like that of the energy near the critical point.
