    (119)Sn Spin-Lattice Relaxation in Alpha-SnF(2)

    The temperature and magnetic field dependencies of the (119)Sn nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate in alpha-SnF(2) indicate the presence of two relaxation mechanisms. At temperatures below 350 K, the relaxation is dominated by a nuclear spin-rotation interaction modulated by lattice vibrations, as has been seen for Pb and Tl salts. This (119)Sn relaxation pathway is less effective in SnF(2) than it is for (207)Pb, (203)Tl, and (205)Tl relaxation in some Pb and Tl salts but it is more effective than (111)Cd and (113)Cd relaxation in some Cd salts. Above 350 K, there is an additional contribution to the observed relaxation rate. The most likely candidate for this thermally activated contribution is the modulation of the (119)Sn-(19)F dipolar interaction by fluoride-ion motion

    Biosphere-atmosphere interactions

    The contemporary atmosphere was created as a result of biological activity some two billion years ago. To this day, its natural composition is supported and modified, mostly through biological processes of trace gas production and destruction, while also involving physical and chemical degradation processes. The biosphere has a major influence on present environmental conditions, both on a regional and global scale. One of the bestdocumented and most important indicators of global change is the progressive increase of a number of trace gases in the atmosphere, among them carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), all of which are of biospheric origin. There is considerable uncertainty, however, regarding the processes that determine the concentration and distribution of trace gases and aerosols in the atmosphere and the causes and consequences of atmospheric change (Andreae and Schimel 1989). To improve our understanding IGAC created an environment for multi-disciplinary collaboration among biologists, chemists, and atmospheric scientists. This was essential to develop analytical methods, to characterise ecosystems, to investigate physiological controls, to develop and validate micrometeorological theory, and to design and develop diagnostic and predictive models (Matson and Ojima 1990)
