We describe a new and powerful computer program called TRIPLE\_GRADIENT which calculates optimized pulsed field gradient sequences for specific coherence pathway selection or rejection. Sequences can be computed for gradient coils acting along one, two, or three perpendicular axes. The program is ba

β¦ Synopsis
A geometrical description for the selection of coherence transfer pathways in high resolution NMR by the application of pulsed field gradients along three orthogonal directions in space is presented. The response of the spin system is one point of the threedimensional Fourier transform of the sample volume affected by a sequence of field gradients. The property that a pathway is retained (or suppressed) when a sequence of field gradients is applied is expressed by the property of vectors, representing the pathway and the sequence, respectively, to be orthogonal (or not orthogonal). Ignoring imperfections of RF pulses, and with the exception of sensitivity enhanced experiments and experiments where the relevant coherence order is zero while field gradients are applied, it is shown that at most only half of the relevant pathways, as compared to a phase cycled experiment, are retained when field gradients are used for signal selection.

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
The selection of well-defined coherence transfer pathways is an essential feature of all but the simplest NMR and EPR pulse sequences. This selection can be achieved by phase cycling and by pulsed field gradients. The properties of the RF-pulses (flip angle, offset effects, inhomogeneity) and transp
