Pulse field gradient spin echo

We finish this section by comparing our results with NMR and incoherent neutron scattering experiments on water dynamics. Self-diffusion constants on the millisecond time scale have been measured by NMR with the pulsed field gradient spin echo (PFGSE) method. Applying this technique to oriented egg phosphatidylcholine bilayers, Wassail [68] demonstrated that the water motion was highly anisotropic, with diffusion in the plane of the bilayers hundreds of times greater than out of the plane. The anisotropy of...

We saw in Chapter 8 how a selective 180° pulse can be placed between two gradients of the same sign and duration to give a pulsed field gradient spin echo (PFGSE) that not only selects the desired coherence but also destroys any other coherences. First, we use a hard 90° pulse to create coherence on all spins, and then the first gradient twists the coherence into a helix (Fig. 8.21). The selective 180° pulse reverses the direction of twist in...

Using pulsed field gradient spin echo NMR, Guering and Lindman [14] and, independently, Clarkson et al. [15] measured the self-diffusion coefficients of the components of microemulsions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), toluene, butanol, and NaCl brine. The results (Fig. 8) establish unequivocally the existence of bicontinous microemulsion.

The double pulsed field gradient spin echo (DPFGSE) pulse sequence has been used to improve the measurement of proton-proton nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) [28]. The DPFGSE NOE does not rely on difference spectroscopy and very small NOEs can be measured. This technique has been used to determine the structure of organosilicon compounds [28].
