22. Although the trend is approximately linear, the deviations seen are usually in the direction expected for de Gennes narrowing [P. G. de Gennes, Physica (Amsterdam) 25, 825 (1959)]. We observe that the relaxation times near maxima in (Formula presented) generally lie above the line while near minima the relaxation times tend to be below the line.
