We have implemented a scheme, SPECMON, for monitoring various parameters of a spectrometer, such as nitrogen pressure and sample temperature, and taking corrective action. The scheme is based on considerations of protection management which are of general application. Evaluation of the spectrometer state is incorporated in macros of the application software (VNMR) and is therefore very flexible. In contrast, corrective action is limited to the single one which is deemed fully safe: complete shutdown of the spectrometer and logging. Shutdown is implemented by a minor hardware modification of the spectrometer: the introduction of a second input to a relay already present for protection of the spectrometer power supply. Monitoring is handled by the host computer, and the shutdown command is transmitted via control lines of its series port, independent of the standard connection between the host computer and the NMR system console. The monitoring system (software and hardware) is unobtrusive in normal conditions, and it can be tested without affecting the operation of the spectrometer.  相似文献

Spin state selective experiments have become very useful tools in solution NMR spectroscopy, particularly in the context of TROSY line narrowing. However, the practical implementation of such pulse sequences is frequently complicated by unexpected instrument behavior. Furthermore, a literal theoretical analysis of sequences published with specific phase settings can fail to rationalize such experiments and can seemingly contradict experimental findings. In this communication, we develop a practical approach to this ostensible paradox. Spin-dynamic design, rationalization, and simulation of NMR pulse sequences, as well as their confident and reliable implementation across current spectrometer hardware platforms, require precise understanding of the underlying nutation axis conventions. While currently often approached empirically, we demonstrate with a simple but general pulse program how to uncover these correspondences a priori in the general case. From this, we deduce a correspondence table between the spin-dynamic phases used in NMR theory and simulation on the one hand and pulse program phases of current commercial spectrometers on the other. As a practical application of these results, we analyze implementations of the original (1)H-(15)N TROSY experiment and illustrate how steady-state magnetization can be predictably, rather than empirically, added to a desired component. We show why and under which circumstances a literal adoption of phases from published sequences can lead to incorrect results. We suggest that pulse sequences should be consistently given with spin-dynamically correct (physical) phases, rather than in spectrometer-specific (software) syntax.  相似文献

The finite RF power available on carbon channel in proton–carbon correlation experiments leads to non-uniform cross peak intensity response across carbon chemical shift range. Several classes of broadband pulses are available that alleviate this problem. Adiabatic pulses provide an excellent magnetization inversion over a large bandwidth, and very recently, novel phase-modulated pulses have been proposed that perform 90° and 180° magnetization rotations with good offset tolerance. Here, we present a study how these broadband pulses (adiabatic and phase-modulated) can improve quantitative application of the heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) experiment on high magnetic field strength NMR spectrometers. Theoretical and experimental examinations of the quantitative, offset-compensated, CPMG-adjusted HSQC (Q-OCCAHSQC) experiment are presented. The proposed experiment offers a formidable improvement to the offset performance; 13C offset-dependent standard deviation of the peak intensity was below 6% in range of ±20 kHz. This covers the carbon chemical shift range of 150 ppm, which contains the protonated carbons excluding the aldehydes, for 22.3 T NMR magnets. A demonstration of the quantitative analysis of a fasting blood plasma sample obtained from a healthy volunteer is given.  相似文献

CARS is an effective non-intrusive technique for measuring gas temperature in combustion environments. In regions of high temperature gradient, however, the CARS signal is complicated by contributions from gas at different temperature. This paper examines theoretically the uncertainty associated with CARS thermometry in steep temperature gradients. In addition, the work compares the temperature predicted from CARS with the adiabatic mixed temperature of the gas resident in the measurement volume. This comparison helps indicate the maximum sample volume size allowed for accurate temperature measurements.  相似文献

Temperature gradients are shown to deform and shift the magnetic islands that grow during fast collisionless reconnection when electron inertia decouples the plasma motion from the magnetic field. A kinetic electron model describes the collisionless processes during the reconnection of field lines originating in regions with different temperatures. Using a novel model of the reconnecting instability as a surface mode, the kinetic effects are treated analytically in the linear and nonlinear stages of the instability of a current-carrying low-beta plasma slab in a strong magnetic guide field.  相似文献

A numerical method is applied to calculate an optimal distribution of currents in air which generate the magnetic field gradients required to spatially encode the radiofrequency signal in a NMR tomographic experiment. We compare the performances of the gradient circuits for the whole body air-core electromagnet described by Bangert and Mansfield (J. Phys. E 15; 1982) with the results of our optimization.  相似文献

We describe a new and powerful computer program called TRIPLE GRADIENT which calculates optimized pulsed field gradient sequences for specific coherence pathway selection or rejection. Sequences can be computed for gradient coils acting along one, two, or three perpendicular axes. The program is based on the computational minimization of a penalty function formed from the summed amplitudes of the unwanted signals. The underlying mathematical analysis makes use of a vectorial representation of the way in which a gradient sequence suppresses different signals. It is argued that experiments using well-calculated gradient sequences are quicker and generally perform better than those using extensive phase cycling, especially when suppressing extremely strong solvent signals, and it is shown that in many cases gradient experiments of optimal signal-to-noise ratio can be performed. These claims are illustrated by spectra obtained from an HQQC experiment.  相似文献

The propagation of ion-acoustic K-dV solitary waves in weakly inhomogeneous, collisionless plasmas with gradients both in the density and the temperature of the ions has been considered. The electrons are assumed to be hot and isothermal, and the ions to be warm and adiabatic. The reductive perturbation analysis of the fluid equations is then carried out. The zero order quantities existing in the system due to the presence of the inhomogeneities are taken into account consistently and a set of ‘stretched coordinates’ appropriate for the inhomogeneous system is employed. A more general modified K-dV equation has been derived and its soliton solution is obtained explicitly. It is shown that as the soliton propagates along the temperature gradient, its amplitude and the velocity decrease, and the width increases. Further, it is found that when the two gradients are in opposite directions, the amplitude of the soliton remains constant.  相似文献

A method for the inclusion of the effects of z-axis pulsed field gradients in computer simulations of an arbitrary pulsed NMR experiment with spin (1/2) nuclei is described. Recognizing that the phase acquired by a coherence following the application of a z-axis pulsed field gradient bears a fixed relation to its order and the spatial position of the spins in the sample tube, the sample is regarded as a collection of volume elements, each phase-encoded by a characteristic, spatially dependent precession frequency. The evolution of the sample's density matrix is thus obtained by computing the evolution of the density matrix for each volume element. Following the last gradient pulse, these density matrices are combined to form a composite density matrix which evolves through the rest of the experiment to yield the observable signal. This approach is implemented in a program which includes capabilities for rigorous inclusion of spin relaxation by dipole-dipole, chemical shift anisotropy, and random field mechanisms, plus the effects of arbitrary RF fields. Mathematical procedures for accelerating these calculations are described. The approach is illustrated by simulations of representative one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments.  相似文献

Ceperley proposed a concept of a traveling wave heat engine ["A pistonless Stirling engine-The traveling wave heat engine," J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 66, 1508-1513 (1979).] that provided a starting point of thermoacoustics today. This paper verifies experimentally his idea through observation of amplification and strong damping of a plane acoustic traveling wave as it passes through axial temperature gradients. The acoustic power gain is shown to obey a universal curve specified by a dimensionless parameter ωτα; ω is the angular frequency and τα is the relaxation time for the gas to thermally equilibrate with channel walls. As an application of his idea, a three-stage acoustic power amplifier is developed, which attains the gain up to 10 with a moderate temperature ratio of 2.3.  相似文献

Many solid-state NMR experiments are sensitive to inhomogeneity in the radiofrequency field. We propose a method to restrict the sample volume, in magic angle spinning experiments, using a static magnetic field gradient and a selective pulse. The position of the gradient is calculated for our experimental configuration and we have simulated the effects of selective pulses to determine the excited volume. The resulting sequences are applied to a sample of sodium acetate using frequency-switched Lee–Goldburg proton–proton homonuclear dipolar decoupling. A gain of a factor of 2 on the carbon resolution is experimentally observed.  相似文献

We describe time modulated field gradient sequences able to selectively phase encode spatial location or flow velocity in NMR Signals. Two flow conditions are presented: constant flow velocity and simple harmonic flow superposed on steady flow. In each case we show that specific modulated gradients are available in order to discriminate between stationary and mobile protons. The methods are presented in the one dimensional case. The advantages of the phase modulation for flow analysis are the following: the method is sensitive to flow direction, unaffected by the T2, and the stationary and flow parameters are quantifiable factors.  相似文献

Ultrasonic flowmeter performance is addressed for the case of cylindrically shaped flowmeters employing two reciprocal ultrasonic transducers A and B so as to measure time-of-flight differences between signals transmitted from transducer A towards B followed by an equivalent signal transmitted from transducer B towards A. In the case where a liquid flows through the flowmeter's measuring section ("spoolpiece"), the arrival times of the two signals differ by an amount related to the flow passing between the two transducers. Firstly, a detailed study of flow measurement errors with mean flow in the laminar flow regime is carried out as a function of the mode index and the transducer diameter/cylinder diameter ratio in the case where no temperature gradients are present in the flowmeter sensor. It is shown that all modes except the fundamental mode overestimate the mean flow by a factor of 33.33% while excitation of the fundamental mode solely give error-free measurements. The immediate consequences are that the flowmeter error decreases as the transducer diameter/cylinder diameter ratio approaches 1 from 0 reflecting the fact that the excitation level of the fundamental mode increases from almost 0 to 1 as this ratio approaches 1 from 0. Secondly, the effect on flowmeter performance due to flow-induced temperature gradients is examined. It is shown that the presence of temperature gradients leads to flowmeter errors at the higher-flow values even in the case where the fundamental mode is the only mode excited. It is also deduced that flowmeter errors in general depend on the distance between transducers A and B whether temperature gradients exist or not. This conclusion is not reflected in the usual definition of flowmeter errors given by the so-called mode-dependent deviation of measurement introduced in earlier works.  相似文献

The accuracy with which distances can be measured using dipolar recoupling experiments in solid-state NMR is investigated. The relative precision of experiments in a three spin system versus an isolated spin pair is found to depend very strongly on the nature of the coupling Hamiltonian. The accuracy of distances measured in even the simplified three spin system is seen to be very poor for existing homonuclear recoupling Hamiltonians. This suggests that it would be difficult to exploit broadband homonuclear recoupling to measure geometrical information reliably in complex spin systems. These conclusions apply equally to both single-crystal studies and powder samples. In contrast, the presence of additional spins has marginal impact on the accuracy when the coupling Hamiltonians commute with each other, as in the case of heteronuclear recoupling. The possibility of creating such a Hamiltonian for homonuclear recoupling using a suitable rotor-synchronized pulse sequence is discussed.  相似文献

Magnetic field gradients have proven useful in NMR for coherence pathway selection, diffusion studies, and imaging. Recently they have been combined with magic angle spinning to permit high-resolution measurements of semi-solids, where magic angle spinning averages any residual dipolar couplings and local variations in the bulk magnetic susceptibility. Here we show the first examples of coherence pathway selection by gradients in dipolar coupled solids. When the gradient evolution competes with dipolar evolution the experiment design must take into account both the strength of the dipolar couplings and the means to refocus it. Examples of both homonuclear and heteronuclear experiments are shown in which gradients have been used to eliminate the need for phase cycling.  相似文献
