Area of Science:

  • Solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy
  • Materials science
  • Physical chemistry

Background:

  • Magic-angle sample spinning (MASS) is crucial for high-resolution NMR of solids and semi-solids.
  • MASS averages anisotropic spin interactions, improving spectral resolution and enabling observation of chemical shifts and scalar couplings.
  • Current limitations exist in implementing MASS at higher magnetic fields.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review experimental progress in achieving magic-angle effects by rotating the magnetic field (B0) in static samples.
  • To explore alternative methods for spectral resolution recovery when the magnetic field deviates from the magic angle.
  • To address technical challenges in implementing these techniques at moderate magnetic fields.

Main Methods:
