• The
transverse
component of the
magnetization also decays
• Local, microscopic field inhomogeneities
causes each spin to precess with a frequency
slightly different from

L
T2 relaxation
• An excitation pulse initially causes all spins to
precess in phase, but a dephasing then occurs
• transverse- or spin-spin relaxation; T2
• T2<T1
