Thurber and Tycko recently described a 'bleaching effect' that occurs in magnetic resonance when solid samples that are doped with paramagnetic agents are subjected to rotation by magic angle spinning (MAS) in a static magnetic field with a rotation period ...
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was discovered in the first half of the 20th century. Today, neither analytical chemistry without NMR spectroscopy nor medical diagnostics without magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be imagined. A magnetic resonance sig ...
The transverse relaxation rates R (2) = 1/T (2) of protons can be determined by spin-echo sequences with multiple refocusing pulses using moderate radio-frequency field strengths and properly chosen inter-pulse delays so as to suppress echo modulations due ...
The paramagnetic complex bis(oxazolinylphenyl)amine-Fe(III)Cl-2 is investigated by means of solid-state proton NMR at 18.8 T (800 MHz) using magic-angle spinning at 65 kHz. Spin echoes that are excited and refocused by combs of rotor-synchronized pulses in ...
We present an electron spin resonance (ESR) study at excitation frequencies of 9.4 and 222.4 GHz of powders and single crystals of a Prussian blue analog (PBA), RbMn[Fe(CN)(6)]center dot H2O in which Fe and Mn undergoes a charge-transfer transition between ...
Single spins in solid-state systems are often considered prime candidates for the storage of quantum information, and their interaction with the environment the main limiting factor for the realization of such schemes. The lifetime of an excited spin state ...
The lattice dynamics of solid He-4 has been explored using pulsed NMR methods to study the motion of He-3 impurities in the temperature range (0.05-0.20 K) where experiments have revealed anomalies attributed to superflow or unexpected viscoelastic propert ...
The high intrinsic spin and long spin relaxation time of manganese-12-acetate (Mn-12) makes it an archetypical single molecular magnet. While these characteristics have been measured on bulk samples, questions remain whether the magnetic properties replica ...
We have investigated carrier spin relaxation in InAs columnar quantum dots (CQDs) using time-resolved photoluminescence measurement. The CQDs were formed by depositing a 1.8 monolayer InAs seed dot layer and a short-period GaAs/InAs superlattice (SL). The ...
The spin echo is the single most important building block in modern NMR spectroscopy, but echo modulation by scalar couplings J can severely complicate its use. We show for the first time that a general but unacknowledged solution to such complications alr ...
