Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (paper Ii)
نویسنده
چکیده
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 earlier work [1] on the use of NQR for explosives detection, and in 1987 we initiated a research program at NRL to explore NQR, with initial support of the FAA and Technical Support Working Group (Department of Defense). NQR explosives detection technologies, including methods applicable for landmine detection, have been developed and patented by NRL and have been licensed by the U.S. Navy to Quantum Magnetics (San Diego, Calif.), a subsidiary of InVision Technologies Inc.

Application of Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance to Detection of Explosives and Research Activities at CIAE
The detection of explosives is a challenging topic. The nitrogen-14 nuclear quadrupole resonance technique exploits the transitions between the energy levels split by the quadrupole interaction to detect the presence of explosives. It is a very promising new technique owing to its unambiguous detection and identification of explosives with low false alarm, high sensitivity and fast detection. T...

“Malaria” is a life-threatening blood disease in tropical regions that spreads by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito. Antimalarial medications are designed to cure or prevent this infection, and prosperous achievements in this area mostly depend on the knowing the drug-receptor interactions and active sites of medicine. This improvement can be achieved through understanding the electronic struc...
متن کاملNuclear Quadrupole Interactions Studied by Time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlations of y-Rays *
This paper gives an elementary introduction to time differential perturbed angular correlation of y-rays emitted from excited nuclei with particular reference to nuclear quadrupole interactions. We start with a comparison to other techniques such as nuclear quadrupole resonance and the Mössbauer effect, quote all necessary formulae, describe a typical spectrometer, list suitable isotopes, and f...
متن کاملNuclear Quadrupole Resonance of Nitrogen-14 in Potassium Hexathiocyanatoplatinate(IV) and Tetrathiocyanatomercurate(II)
The nuclear quadrupole resonance of 14N was observed in KoPt(SCN)6 and K2Hg(SCN)4 at various temperatures. Both compounds yield large asymmetry parameters indicating the existence of asymmetric ^-electron distribution about a CN bond axis. The ionic character of metal-ligand bonds in the platinum and mercury complexes is estimated to be 28% and 58 %, respectively. The temperature dependence of ...
