Transient Decay of Longitudinal Magnetization in Heterogeneous Spin Systems under Selective Saturation
نویسنده
چکیده
The transient behavior of the longitudinal magnetization of the mobile protons in aqueous heterogeneous materials is investigated both theoretically and experimentally when selective saturation is applied by off-resonance, RF irradiation to the homogeneously broadened, immobile protons which are coupled to the mobile protons through cross relaxation. Analytical solution of this problem is obtained by a generalization of H. C. Torrey’s solution to the Bloch equations. Progressive (but indirect) saturation of the magnetization of the mobile protons under this RF irradiation is dynamically monitored using very-small-tipangle sampling pulses. The apparent relaxation rate of heat-denatured egg albumin was measured as a function of frequency offset of the saturating RF with different amplitudes using a new dispersion method modified from a broadband technique recently invented for the rapid aCqUkitiOU of a CrOSS-r&XatiOU z SpeCWUXII.

For the past few years since the discovery of magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) (1-3), it has been common practice to use the model by Forsen and Hoffman (4, 5) to interpret their experimental results (1, 2, 6) in tissues or tissue-like materials. Before we can accept this model for such a purpose, it is important to question its validity. Forsen and Hoffman’s model (FHM) was originally con...

Relaxation of thermal-remanent magnetization and isothermal remanent magnetization of spin glass in Cd& „Mn„Te diluted magnetic semiconductors have been studied at different conditions. Magnetization relaxation can be described by a power-law decay, M(t) =Mpt (f & to and to=2 s) with small values of a or a logarithmic decay M(t}=MD(1—a lnt) (t & to and to=2 s). Temperature and applied magnetic-...
متن کاملSpin-diffusion NMR at low field for the study of multiphase solids.
The use of spin-diffusion NMR for the measurement of domain sizes in multiphase materials is becoming increasingly popular, in particular for the study of heterogeneous polymers. Under conditions where T(1) relaxation can be neglected, which is mostly the case at high field, analytical and approximate solutions to the evolution of spin diffusion are available. In order to extend the technique t...
متن کاملPulsed magnetization transfer spin-echo MR imaging.
Cross relaxation between macromolecular protons and water protons is known to be important in biologic tissue. In magnetic resonance (MR) imaging sequences, selective saturation of the characteristically short T2 macromolecular proton pool can produce contrast called magnetization transfer contrast, based on the cross-relaxation process. Selective saturation can be achieved with continuous wave...

Using the zero-temperature Metropolis dynamics the time decay of the remanent magnetization in the ±J Edward-Anderson spin glass model with a uniform random distribution of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions has been investigated. Starting from the saturation the magnetization per spin m reveals a slow decrease with time which can be approximated by a power law: m(t) = m ∞ + t a 0...
