Broadband population inversion in solid state NMR
نویسنده
چکیده
We present theory, simulations and experimental demonstrations of composite 1T pulses for population inversion in coupled spin systems such as occur in solid state NMR. The composite 1T pulses are phase-shifted rf pulse sequences designed to invert spins over a larger range of dipole or quadrupole couplings than a conventional1T pulse, for a given rfpower. We discuss a previously proposed theory for constructing composite pulses, in the specific context of solids. Two particular sequences 450180909018018090450 and 18001801201800 are examined in detail. Their performance in coupled spin systems ofvarlous sizes is evaluated in simulations. Experiments are performed on two solid compounds, Ba(CI03h·H20 and C40 4H2. The results reveal markedly less spectral distortion after composite pulse inversion than after conventional1T pulse inversion at low rf powers.

Broadband inversion for MAS NMR with single-sideband-selective adiabatic pulses.
We explain how and under which conditions it is possible to obtain an efficient inversion of an entire sideband family of several hundred kHz using low-power, sideband-selective adiabatic pulses, and we illustrate with some experimental results how this framework opens new avenues in solid-state NMR for manipulating spin systems with wide spinning-sideband (SSB) manifolds. This is achieved thro...
متن کاملHeteronuclear decoupling by multiple rotating frame technique.
The paper describes the multiple rotating frame technique for designing modulated rf fields, that perform broadband heteronuclear decoupling in solution NMR spectroscopy. The decoupling method presented here is understood by performing a sequence of coordinate transformations, each of which demodulates a component of the rf field to a static component, that progressively averages the chemical s...
متن کاملRapid acquisition of wideline MAS solid-state NMR spectra with fast MAS, proton detection, and dipolar HMQC pulse sequences.
The solid-state NMR spectra of many NMR active elements are often extremely broad due to the presence of chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) and/or the quadrupolar interaction (for nuclei with spin I > 1/2). These NMR interactions often give rise to wideline solid-state NMR spectra which can span hundreds of kHz or several MHz. Here we demonstrate that by using fast MAS, proton detection and dipola...
متن کاملBroadband and adiabatic inversion of a two-level system by phase-modulated pulses.
We describe a class of continuously phase-modulated radiation pulses that result in coherent population inversion on resonance as well as over a large range of transition frequencies and radiation field strengths. This is a population-inversion analogy to self-induced transparency. Simulations of the inversion properties of' the modulated inversion pulse (MIP) are presented. It is shown that th...
متن کاملImproved Broadband Inversion Performance for NMR in Liquids
New NMR broadband inversion pulses that compensate both for resonance offset and radiofrequency (RF) inhomogeneity are described. The approach described is a straightforward computer optimization of an initial digitized waveform generated from either a constant-amplitude frequency sweep or from an existing composite inversion pulse. Problems with convergence to local minima are alleviated by th...
