Study of a spin-3/2 system by a quadrupolar-echo sequence: suppression of spurious signals.
نویسنده
چکیده
The density matrix describing the evolution of a spin-3/2 system excited by a quadrupolar-echo sequence consisting of two rf pulses in quadrature phase, (X)-tau 2-(Y)-tau 4-[acquisition(y)], is calculated from the equilibrium state to the acquisition period. The interactions involved are the first-order quadrupolar interaction throughout the experiment and a local heteronuclear magnetic dipolar term between the two pulses and during the acquisition period. Three echoes, one due to a satellite transition at tau 4 = tau 2 and two due to the central transition at tau 4 = tau 2 and tau 4 = 3 tau 2, are predicted. They have similar expressions than those obtained with two rf pulses of the same phase, (X)-tau 2-(X)-tau 4-[acquisition(y)], except the signs. Moreover, it is shown experimentally that a combination of these two sequences, namely: (X)-tau 2-(X)-tau 4-[acquisition(y)]-recycle delay-(X)-tau 2-(-X)-tau 4-[acquisition(y)]-recycle delay-(X)-tau 2-(Y)-tau 4-[acquisition(-y)]-recycle delay-(X)-tau 2-(-Y)-tau 4-[acquisition(-y)]-recycle delay, cancels the spurious piezo-electric signals when studying a ferro-electric material in the single-crystal form.

Assessment of the Characteristics of MRI Coils in Terms of RF Non-Homogeneity Using Routine Spin Echo Sequences
Introduction: One of the major causes of image non-uniformity in MRI is due to the existence of non-homogeneity in RF receive and transmit. This can be the most effective source of error in quantitative studies in MRI imaging. Part of this non-homogeneity demonstrates the characteristics of RF coil and part of it is due to the interaction of RF field with the material being imaged...
متن کاملA study of the precision of average Hamiltonian theory for spin I = 1, 3∕2 and 5∕2 nuclei by investigating a two pulse quadrupolar echo sequence
In this work we investigate the accuracy of controlling spin 1=1, 3/2 and 5/2 systems by average Hamiltonian theory. By way of example, we illustrate the precision one can achieve by this perturbation scheme compared to an exact solution computed by a numerical solution of the von Neumann equation for a simple two pidse echo cycle. We study this precision as a function of the quadrupolar coupli...
متن کاملDetermination of quadrupole parameters with a composite pulse for spurious signal suppression.
Spurious signals such as the piezoelectric signal from a ferroelectric crystal or the ringing signal from the NMR probe head tuned for low gyromagnetic ratio nuclei are often observed in pulsed NMR. Both signals are cancelled using the Hahn echo sequence with appropriate phase cyclings. The present paper applies a composite-pulse sequence to cancel the ringing signal. The main advantage of this...
متن کاملAn analysis of the magic echo and solid echo sequence for quadrupolar echo spectroscopy of spin I = 1 nuclei by average Hamiltonian theory
This work focuses on analyzing the dynamics of spin I=1 nuclei evolving under a simple two pulse echo cycle and a magic echo cycle by average Hamiltonian theory. The work highlights how spectral artifacts introduced by finite pulse widths can be removed by cycling the phases of the receiver and transmitter in a well defined way. In addition, it is shown that a magic echo cycle can refocus both ...
متن کاملFinite pulse width artifact suppression in spin-1 quadrupolar echo spectra by phase cycling.
A phase cycling scheme for suppressing spectral artifacts introduced in quadrupolar echo spectroscopy of spin-1 nuclei due to finite pulse width effects is presented. The phase cycling scheme is developed using the formalism of average Hamiltonian theory and fictitious spin-1 operators. A simulation and experiment on deuterated polyethelene is performed highlighting the spectral artifact introd...
