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

โฆ Synopsis
A two-pulse NMR nutation spectroscopy scheme is suggested that leads to a new type of spin echoes. The amplitude of the radiofrequency (RF) pulses as well as the external magnetic field are assumed to be subject to gradients G 1 and G 0 , respectively, in the same but otherwise arbitrary direction. Multiple echoes are predicted and observed at times k(G 1 /G 0 ) 1 and ุ k(G 1 /G 0 ) 1 (k โซุโฌ 1, 2, 3, . . .) after the second RF pulse, where 1 represents the radiofrequency pulse duration, and is the spacing of the RF pulses. Based on these echoes, a method for diffusion measurements is proposed that simultaneously provides the spin-lattice relaxation time and the self-diffusion coefficient.
