✦ Synopsis

The possibility of exciting and filtering various multipolar spin states in proton NMR like dipolar encoded longitudinal magnetization (LM), double-quantum (DQ) coherences, and dipolar order (DO) in strongly inhomogeneous static and radio-frequency magnetic fields is investigated. For this purpose pulse sequences which label and manipulate the multipolar spin states in a specific way were implemented on the NMR-MOUSE (mobile universal surface explorer). The performance of the pulse sequences was also tested in homogeneous fields on a solid-state high-field NMR spectrometer. The theoretical justification of these procedures was shown for a rigid two-spin 1/2 system coupled by dipolar interactions. Dipolar encoded longitudinal magnetization decay curves, double-quantum and dipolar-order buildup curves, as well as double-quantum decay curves were recorded with the NMR-MOUSE for natural rubber samples with different crosslink density. The possibility of using these multipolar spin states for investigations of strained elastomers by NMR-MOUSE is also shown. These curves give access to quantitative values of the ratio of the total residual dipolar couplings of the protons in the series of samples which are in good agreement with those measured in homogeneous fields.

Magnetic field gradients have proven useful in NMR for coherence pathway selection, diffusion studies, and imaging. Recently they have been combined with magic angle spinning to permit high-resolution measurements of semi-solids, where magic angle spinning averages any residual dipolar couplings and

Nutation echoes are generated by radiofrequency (RF) pulses with an inhomogeneous amplitude, B 1 ‫؍‬ B 1 (r), in inhomogeneous magnetic fields, B 0 ‫؍‬ B 0 (r). The two gradients of strengths G 1 and G 0 , respectively, must be aligned in parallel for a maximum echo signal. After two RF pulses, two

A theory of the NMR signal dephasing due to the presence of tissue-specific magnetic field inhomogeneities is developed for a two-compartment model. Randomly distributed magnetized objects of finite size embedded in a given media are modeled by ellipsoids of revolution (prolate and oblate spheroids)
