NMR studies on simple liquids in confinement

摘要

NMR studies on liquids in various types of confinements are reviewed. The discussion includes results for the size, the morphology, and the filling of pores. Moreover, it deals with the phase behaviors, the local structures, and in particular, the local dynamics of confined liquids. Findings for soft and hard confinements of various sizes are con-sidered. The main focus is on the time scales of and the mechanisms for dynamics of simple liquids in simple confinements. From the methodi-cal point of view, the review is restricted to NMR work in homogeneous magnetic fields, i.e, field-gradient approaches are not included.
