Broadband pulse NMR/NQR spectroscopy of solids

  • ultra-wide-line solid state NMR/NQR spectroscopy with well defined excitation and acquisition conditions within a broad spectral range (without gaps which are standardly present in high resolution commercial NMR devices)
  • investigation of atomic, electronic and magnetic structure of magnetic materials (e.g. magnetic oxides, metals or intermetallics)
  • investigation of wide-range spectra of nonmagnetic materials (inhomogeneously broadened by anisotropic internal or macroscopic interactions)
  • laboratory equipment

- broadband pulse NMR spectrometer console Bruker Avance with two digital frequency synthesizers (SGU) and three transmitters covering the spectral range 10-900 MHz
- customized broadband pulse NMR spectrometer console Bruker Avance II with two digital frequency synthesizers (SGU) and transmitters with a frequency range 10-500 MHz
- high resolution standard bore (SB) cryomagnet Magnex 9.4 T with shim system

  • Bruker wide-line static probeheads
