β¦ Synopsis
The paper describes an advance in stray field imaging (STRAFI) whereby images of planar samples can be obtained in the stray field of a superconducting magnet without the need for sample rotation. This is achieved by using the static stray magnetic field gradient in combination with pulsed orthogonal gradients. Results of both twoand three-dimensional implementations of the experiment are presented and discussed. An extension to diffusion-weighted imaging is introduced. The technique is expected to prove particularly useful in experiments where high resolution is required in only one direction while lower resolution is acceptable in the orthogonal directions, such as in studies of the drying and curing of paints and varnishes. Arising from the work, a new method for accurately calibrating the radiofrequency pulse width in stray field is found.

Shimming is important. Noniterative methods are desirable. Such methods exist for shimming a spectrometer with pulsed field gradients, generally based on field maps made by spin-warp Fourier imaging. For spectrometers with no pulsed gradients (or for cases where T2 is too short to permit echo imagin
In this paper we present a pulse sequence that combines a displacement-encoded stimulated echo with rapid sampling of k-space by means of turbo spin echo imaging. The stimulated echo enables the use of long observation times between the two pulsed field gradients that sample q-space completely. Prop
The combination of electron spin echo and pulsed field gradient techniques has been applied to investigate the spatial separation of paramagnetic centers. The feasibility and the advantages of this technique are demonstrated in the results of preliminary experiments on fluoranthenyl radical cation s
## Abstract A diffusionβweighted multiβspinβecho pulse sequence is presented, which allows for simultaneous measurement of __T__~2~, the fractional amplitude, and the diffusion constant of different fractions. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate an improvement of this sequence with respect to the a
