title: Diffusion-relaxation correlation in simple pore structures.
abstract: The effects of independent encoding for relaxation and for diffusion using separate time and gradient dimensions are calculated for spins diffusing in plane parallel and spherical pores with relaxing walls. Two-dimensional inverse Laplace transformation is used to obtain computed (D,T(2)) maps for both geometries, in the regime in which the dimensionless diffusion coefficient is less than unity and the dimensionless relaxation parameter of order unity or greater. It is shown that there exist two distinct branches on the (D,T(2)) maps, one with diffusion and relaxation strongly correlated and one in which the diffusion coefficients vary widely independently of relaxation.
