At present three principal model diversities of localHMM exist the rotational diffusion model (RDM) the fixedangular jumpmodel (FAJM) and the extended angular jumpmodel (EAJM) [2 3] Using RDMshown to be very successfulby describing HMM happened in liquids [4ndash7] FAJM workssufficiently well in isotropic media of powders [8ndash10] Atlast the EAJM is appropriated for exploring the HMM ofsymmetrical molecules in any condensed molecular mediasingle crystals powders and liquids It was fruitfully appliedto discuss the broadened lines of incoherent scattering of

Themean value of the secondmoment at low temperature(minus195∘C) that is in the ordered phase has been determinedfor direction of the induction vector of the external staticmagnetic field chosen along the fourfold symmetry axis inthe unit cell of NH

4Cl (B

0 [1 0 0]) equal to 365 Gs2

and along the twofold symmetry axis (B0

[1 1 0])mdash546Gs2 [11] The respective high temperature values wereequal to 66Gs2 and 26Gs2 Because of the fact that theintraionic part of the second moment decreases down tozero at high temperatures we suggest that the respectivevalues of the second moment consist of the interionic partsonly Taking into account just presented point of view aboutthe experimental second moments we can assume that thedifference between low and high temperature values of thetotal secondmoment can be considered as the pure intraionicparts for low temperature second moments Performing theappropriate calculations we get the experimental values ofthe intraionic second moments 119872

equal to 299Gs2

and 52Gs2 for directions of magnetic field induction B0

[1 0 0] and B0 [1 1 0] respectively

By substituting in (26) firstly 119872(intraexp)2

= 1205874 and 120599 = 0 and then 119872(intraexp)2

= 52Gs2 120601 = 1205874and 120599 = 1205872 we get the experimental values of dynamic

weights 1199021and 1199022 1199021= 0254 and 119902

determined with respect to CRFAt sufficiently low temperatures a regime of rigid lattice

is valid in molecular crystals At high temperatures (T gt

40K) the direction of some internuclear vectors changesaccidentally due to classical rotational displacement Conse-quently angles (120593

119895119894 120579119895119894) become random functions of time

Such motion changes a spectral distribution law of NMRsignals Therefore the simulation of a second moment formolecular substances has to be performed by accounting forintramolecular nuclei as well as intermolecular ones

the intraioniccontribution to the second moment of proton NMR spectralline in monocrystalline ammonium chloride prescribed by(26) allows us to calculate the numbering values of dynamicweights 119902

1and 1199022by using experimental values of 119872(intra)

Themean value of the secondmoment at low temperature(minus195∘C) that is in the ordered phase has been determinedfor direction of the induction vector of the external staticmagnetic field chosen along the fourfold symmetry axis inthe unit cell of NH

4Cl (B

0 [1 0 0]) equal to 365 Gs2

and along the twofold symmetry axis (B0

[1 1 0])mdash546Gs2 [11] The respective high temperature values wereequal to 66Gs2 and 26Gs2 Because of the fact that theintraionic part of the second moment decreases down tozero at high temperatures we suggest that the respectivevalues of the second moment consist of the interionic partsonly Taking into account just presented point of view aboutthe experimental second moments we can assume that thedifference between low and high temperature values of thetotal secondmoment can be considered as the pure intraionicparts for low temperature second moments Performing theappropriate calculations we get the experimental values ofthe intraionic second moments 119872

(intraexp)2

equal to 299Gs2

and 52Gs2 for directions of magnetic field induction B0

[1 0 0] and B0 [1 1 0] respectively

By substituting in (26) firstly 119872(intraexp)2

= 299Gs2 120601

= 1205874 and 120599 = 0 and then 119872(intraexp)2

= 52Gs2 120601 = 1205874and 120599 = 1205872 we get the experimental values of dynamic

weights 1199021and 1199022 1199021= 0254 and 119902

for the intraionic second moment no for the spin-latticerelaxation rates in the ideal cubic symmetry position In thiscase 119902

Themean value of the secondmoment at low temperature(minus195∘C) that is in the ordered phase has been determinedfor direction of the induction vector of the external staticmagnetic field chosen along the fourfold symmetry axis inthe unit cell of NH

4Cl (B

0 [1 0 0]) equal to 365 Gs2

and along the twofold symmetry axis (B0

[1 1 0])mdash546Gs2 [11] The respective high temperature values wereequal to 66Gs2 and 26Gs2 Because of the fact that theintraionic part of the second moment decreases down tozero at high temperatures we suggest that the respectivevalues of the second moment consist of the interionic partsonly Taking into account just presented point of view aboutthe experimental second moments we can assume that thedifference between low and high temperature values of thetotal secondmoment can be considered as the pure intraionicparts for low temperature second moments Performing theappropriate calculations we get the experimental values ofthe intraionic second moments 119872

equal to 299Gs2

and 52Gs2 for directions of magnetic field induction B0

[1 0 0] and B0 [1 1 0] respectively

By substituting in (26) firstly 119872(intraexp)2

= 299Gs2 120601

= 1205874 and 120599 = 0 and then 119872(intraexp)2

= 52Gs2 120601 = 1205874and 120599 = 1205872 we get the experimental values of dynamic
