✦ Synopsis
Two signal enhancement schemes capable of providing large signal-to-noise gains in static and magic-angle spinning NMR spectra of the central transition of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei are presented. Amplitude-modulated doublefrequency sweeps (AM-DFS) and rotor-assisted population transfer (RAPT) pulse sequences are used as preparatory sequences in combination with the quadrupolar Carr-Purcell Meiboom-Gill (QCPMG) pulse sequence to obtain large signal enhancements ranging from one to two orders of magnitude. Specific applications to two spin-3/2 nuclei ( 87 Rb and 39 K) and one spin-5/2 nucleus ( 85 Rb) are presented.

Three population transfer techniques for improving the sensitivity of the central transition of NMR spectra from half-integer quadrupolar nuclei in the solid state are described. Two of the methods attempt to invert the populations of energy levels associated with the satellite transitions either by
