Abstract:
Experimental evidence of observing a rather unusual spin-locking spin echo (SLSE) effect in the fields of two multi-pulse sequences (varphi(0))(x)-(tau-varphi(x)-2tau-varphi(x)-2tau-varphi(-x)-2tau-varphi(-x)-tau)(n) and (varphi(0))(x)-(tau-varphi(x)-2tau-varphi(y)-tau)(n) in (14)N nuclear quadrupole resonance is presented. It was demonstrated that the SLSE effect is observed only in the even pulse intervals of both sequences. All experiments were carried out at room temperature on a powder sample of NaNO2. A theoretical description of the effect is given.

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Spin
Atomic nuclei have a net nuclear spin, , which can have an integer or half-integer value. In atomic nuclei, the spins of protons are paired against each other but not with neutrons, and vice versa. Consequently, an even number of protons does not contribute to...

Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation
In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers energy to a nearby...
