Magic angle spinning advantage

Because of the prediction of coexistence of order/disorder in [26], Dalai et al. [27] reinvestigated the phase transition mechanism with an ultra-high resolution NMR method, which is based on magic angle spinning (MAS) and is described in detail by Dalai et al. in Chap 2 of this volume. The advantages of this method as compared to conventional NMR techniques are that it is ... 

In NMR experiments, molecular mobility leads to narrowing of the resonance lines. Conversely, restricted molecular motion, as occurs in crystalline phases, causes line-broadening. Until the advent of magic angle spinning and related techniques, tliis was a hindrance to NMR studies of solid polymers. We have used it to advantage in following the orientation effects in solid PTFE. 

NMR, and speciflcally, IH magic angle spinning NMR, has been used for years (Nicholson et al., 1999). Its main advantages fie in the fact that NMR does not require any upfront chromatographic separation, nor does it destroy the samples during analysis. It has the ability to measure... 

Despite the obvious benefits of quantitative solid-state NMR via single pulse excitation methodology (SPE) (see Section 3), cross-polarisation combined with magic-angle spinning (CP/MAS) [1] has many intrinsic advantages which...
