Abstract:
(77)Se (I=1/2) solid-state NMR is a very sensitive probe of the local structure of selenide glasses, which themselves are promising for optical applications. In this work, we show that although (77)Se has a low natural abundance (7.58%) and a wide spectral range, the sensitivity can be dramatically increased using Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) trains of rotor-synchronized π pulses during the detection of (77)Se magnetization but may be affected by chemical shift anisotropy when the Magic Angle Spinning rate is not fast enough and by offset effects. The indirect dimension of the T(2)(CPMG)-resolved spectrum shows a strong influence of the J-couplings between naturally occurring (77)Se pairs. The resulting spectra show that the structural model known as "chains crossing model" is not entirely suitable to describe the glassy network of the Se-rich compositions.

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
