8-
confined in a nanoslit of silica.
7+
In this tutorial, the H-NMR relaxation rates :math:`R_1` and :math:`R_2` are
8+
measured for water confined within a nanoslit composed of silica. The hydrogen
9+
atoms of interest include those in the water molecules and those in the surface
10+
hydroxyl (-OH) groups of the silica. The individual contributions to
11+
:math:`R_1` and :math:`R_2`—namely, intra-molecular, inter-molecular, and
12+
water-hydroxyl interactions—are computed separately. This system illustrates
13+
an anisotropic case, where all three correlation functions,
14+
:math:`G^{(1)}`, :math:`G^{(2)}`, and :math:`G^{(3)}`, must be evaluated.
