Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed high-resolution NMR spectroscopy in solids. Magic angle spinning and cross polarization are used in conjunction. The sample is rotated by a spinner at a high speed about an axis oriented at the magic angle 54°44' with respect to the static magnetic field. Under this condition, a 90° pulse is applied to abundant nuclear species, such as 1 H that is coupled to dilute nuclear species, such as 13 C. Then, a spin-locking pulse or pulse sequence is applied to the abundant nuclear species. An observing pulse or pulse sequence is applied to the dilute nuclear species. The free induction decay signal from the dilute nuclear species is detected. The spin-locking pulse or the observing pulse is amplitude-modulated at a low frequency.
