Right angles: In solid-state magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra, the line widths of carbonyl carbon atoms in polycryst. cholesteryl acetate are as narrow as 0.039 ppm if the magic angle is adjusted very accurately, i.e., within +-0.004 Deg. The line br ...
We present the design, fabrication and test of high-Q factor radiofrequency planar microcoils for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in small volume samples. The coils are fabricated on glass wafers using high-aspect ratio SU-8 photoepoxy and co ...
Prepn. of the title compd. (I) from starting materials CI4 and AgAl{OC(CF3)3}4 was performed with the complete exclusion of light and with carefully purified diiodine-free CI4, since CI4 decomps. within minutes in soln. in light with formation of I2 ...
We present a simple framework for determining the parameters for efficient adiabatic pulses in solids with very large shift anisotropies under very fast MAS. We introduce the notion of the effective adiabatic quality factor to describe the spin dynamics. W ...
Apart from their very classical use to build polarized targets for particle physics, the methods of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) have more recently found application for sensitivity enhancement in high-resolution NMR, both in the solid and in the liq ...
NMR of paramagnetic systems in solution is hampered by relaxation enhancement (PRE). Here we present a method to access paramagnetic line widths in microcrystalline samples under magic angle spinning. We demonstrate that a CPMG technique may advantageously ...
The variable-speed magic-angle sample spinning (VSMAS) technique was extended to two-dimensional spectroscopy in solids yielding two-dimensional spectra free of spinning sidebands. [on SciFinder (R)] ...
We study phase separation in a deeply quenched colloid-polymer mixture in microgravity on the International Space Station using small-angle light scattering and direct imaging. We observe a clear crossover from early-stage spinodal decomposition to late-st ...
We performed an ab initio mol. dynamics simulation of the paramagnetic transition metal ion Cr3+ in aq. soln. Isotropic hyperfine coupling consts. between the electron spin of the chromium ion and nuclear spins of all water mols. have been detd. for instan ...
In this thesis, the synthesis of oligomers of β-amino acids (β-peptides) is described. Their secondary structure is investigated by several techniques, in particular nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, but also circular dichroism and infrared sp ...
