Line Shapes of the35Cl Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance in KClO3, AgClO3, Ba(ClO3)2·H2O, and Cu(ClO3)2·6H2O

Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance*

A resonance phenomenon which is closely related to NMR is nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR), which was discovered in 1950 by Dehmelt and Kruger. All nuclei with a spin > 1 possess in addition to the magnetic moment, an electric quadrupole moment eQ, which measures the deviation of the distribution of the positive charge in the nucleus from spherical symmetry. While e is the elementary charge, ...

Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (paper Ii)

The Polymer Diagnostics Section (Code 6122) of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has expertise in solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR). In 1983, NRL established an interagency agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to advise the FAA on NMR methods to detect explosives. We were aware of ear...

Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (paper I)

Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) combines the spatial localization capability and convenience of metal detection or ground-penetrating radar (GPR) with the compound specific detection capability offered by chemical detection techniques. Starting in the mid-1990s, groups at Quantum Magnetics Inc. and the Naval Research Laboratory made considerable improvements in the basic scientific and instr...

Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance in Amorphous Semiconductors *

Nuclear quadrupole resonance ( N Q R ) has provided a valuable tool for investigating the local structural order in semiconducting glasses. Measurements of N Q R lineshapes and spin-lattice relaxation times help elucidate the local structural order and the unusual vibrational properties, respectively, o f these glasses. In addition, N Q R lineshape measurements on samples that are made under co...
