In this article a method is suggested for restricting a sample (spatial localization) by preparing the magnetization with a phase-modulated radiofrequency pulse which inverts magnetization only over a very narrow range of radiofrequency field strengths. This is the most efficient method, in terms of

β¦ Synopsis
Many solid-state NMR experiments are sensitive to inhomogeneity in the radiofrequency field. We propose a method to restrict the sample volume, in magic angle spinning experiments, using a static magnetic field gradient and a selective pulse. The position of the gradient is calculated for our experimental configuration and we have simulated the effects of selective pulses to determine the excited volume. The resulting sequences are applied to a sample of sodium acetate using frequency-switched Lee-Goldburg proton-proton homonuclear dipolar decoupling. A gain of a factor of 2 on the carbon resolution is experimentally observed. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

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
## Abstract Magnetic field gradients were incorporated into the selective COSY experiment. The new gradientβselected experiment has the expected advantages of significantly improved spectral quality resulting from better artifact suppression and the capacity to acquire spectra using fewer scans. A
