While the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique has widely been used to study diffusion processes of normal liquids, solids, or colloidal systems, there are only a few applications to molten salts. The spin echo self-diffusion method with pulsed field gradients was applied to molten salts by Herdlicka et al. "" There is no need to set up or maintain a concentration gradient.

All experiments were performed in a 1.9-T horizontal bore magnet (Oxford Instruments, Oxford, UK) with a dear bore diameter of 31 cm. Magnetic field gradients were produced by a 12-cm id water-cooled gradient set (Resonance Research, Billerica, MA, USA), capable of a maximum output of 300 mT m-1, and were driven by Techron 7700 amplifiers (Techron Inc., Elkhart, IN, USA). Rf excitation was accomplished using either a quadrature driven birdcage coil (Morris Instruments, Ottawa, ON, Canada), or an 8-tum laboratory-built solenoid coil, driven by an ENI LPI-10 1000 W amplifier or a Matec Model 525 class-C amplifier.

Microfabrication techniques with the features of integration, reproduction and precision are particularly suitable for the implementation of miniaturized designs and significant reduction in product costs. A miniaturized magnetic resonance probe for on-line/in-line flow studies can be microfabricated by combining an rf coil [45, 46] with microfabricated gradients [47] and electronics [48] around a small tube/capillary.

Up to this point, water mobility values obtained are average values for an entire sample. However, if magnetic field gradients in the x, y, and z directions are incorporated into a pulsed NMR experimental setup, the spatial distribution aspects of water mobility (7), T2, and D) can also be measured via the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques.
