Abstract:
A new application of a recently developed electronic radiation-damping (RD) control system is presented. It is possible to amplify radiation damping so as to make the water magnetization return back to its equilibrium direction in a time shorter than the characteristic RD time. Certain types of experiments involving radiation damping as a selective inversion pulse can be significantly improved by this new method. Moreover, amplification of RD is shown to improve water suppression and consequently the dynamics of 2D NOESY experiments on proteins.
