Nuclear magnetic resonance polarization and coherence echoes in static and rotating solids
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mechanisms of defocusing and refocusing of spin order in extended dipolar coupled nuclear spin systems are investigated by experiments on static and on rotating solids. It is demonstrated that polarization or coherence echoes are possible also under magic-angle sample spinning. The dipolar interactions, averaged by the spinning, are recovered by rotor-synchronized multiple-pulse sequences. By a simple modification of the pulse sequences, it is possible to reverse the sign of the effective dipolar Hamiltonian and to induce the refocusing of polarization or coherence. The creation of multiple-spin order in the course of polarization evolution or free precession is monitored by a modified echo experiment. Experimental results for a polycrystalline sample of calcium formate are presented. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~96!01148-8#

Oxygen - 17 Cross - Polarization NMR Spectroscopy of Inorganic Solids
We have obtained I70 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of a variety of ‘70-labeled solids (Mg(OH)z, Ca(OH)*, boehmite (AlO(C talc (Mg3Si.,0,,(OH)2), (C6H,),SiOH, and amorphous Si02) using high-field static and “magioangle” sample spinning techniques, together with ‘H cross polarization and dipolar decoupling. Our results show that large cross-polarization enhancements can be obtained and that ...
متن کاملPreprint of Broadband Relaxation-Optimized Polarization Transfer in Magnetic Resonance
Many applications of magnetic resonance are limited by rapid loss of spin coherence caused by large transverse relaxation rates. In nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of large proteins, increased relaxation losses lead to poor sensitivity of experiments and increased measurement time. In this paper we develop broadband relaxation optimized pulse sequences (BB-CROP) which approach fundamental limi...
متن کاملTime-reversal of cross-polarization in nuclear magnetic resonance
It is demonstrated that the time evolution of the heteronuclear polarization-transfer process in a dipolar-coupled nuclear spin system can be reversed, leading to the observation of cross-polarization echoes. The cross-polarization echoes are induced by consecutive application of two pulse trains that produce effective Hamiltonians that differ only in sign. Cross-polarization echoes have been r...
متن کاملAn investigation into the effect of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) echo time spacing and number of echoes on the sensitivity and dose resolution of PAGATUG polymer-gel dosimeter
Background: There are various methods to read out responses of a polymer-gel dosimeter, among which the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique is the most common one. Optimizing imaging protocols can have significant effect on the sensitivity and the dose resolution of polymer gel dosimeters. This study has investigated the effects of the number of echoes (NOE) and the echo time spacing (ES...
