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 ...
Searching for optimal conditions during one- and multi-dimensional solid-state NMR experiments in high static fields may require spinning the sample at frequencies above 40 kHz. This implies challenging requirements for heteronuclear spin decoupling. We ha ...
The upgrade of the cold neutron triple axis spectrometer FLEXX, a work-horse instrument for inelastic neutron scattering matching the sample environment capabilities at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, has been successfully accomplished. Experiments confirmed an ...
We analyze the direct excitation of wide one-dimensional spectra of nuclei with spin I = 1/2 or 1 in rotating solids submitted to pulse trains in the manner of Delays Alternating with Nutations for Tailored Excitation (DANTE), either with one short rotor-s ...
We explore the effects of symmetry on the performance of phase-modulated homonuclear dipolar decoupling in H-1 solid-state NMR. We demonstrate that the symmetry of the DUMBO family of decoupling sequences is the result of two well-defined symmetry expansio ...
In numerous biological processes that constitute the base of living organisms, protein function is fundamentally related to internal dynamics occurring on μs-ms time scales that can give rise to chemical exchange contributions to relaxation. In a heteronuc ...
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 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 ...
Echo modulations that arise in Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill (CPMG) spin echo sequences and stem from homonuclear couplings can be suppressed by different methods. The evolution under homonuclear couplings can be either ‘‘locked’’ or ‘‘refocused’’, leading to ...
We have studied the fluoride-bridged Dy-Cr molecular nanomagnet [Dy(hfac)(4)-CrF2(py)(4)]center dot 1/2CHCl(3) by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The obtained element-specific magnetization curves allow for a quantification of the sign and streng ...
